or user charged for every month or not?
Please share your valuable suggestions

Hi WhiteLotus,
For the system to make any sense, when the subscription expires, iTunes would check for the presence of the auto-renewal identifier before renewing the subscription automatically. Otherwise there is nothing to differentiate a Non-Renewable subscription from an Auto-Renewing one.
However, it may not be the approved way of stopping the product from auto-subscribing. From page 28 of the iTunesConnect In-App Purchase Guide:
"To remove an In-App Purchase product from sale
- Open the In-App Purchases page for the app, as described in To view In-App Purchase product configuration information (page 32).
- Click in the row of the In-App Purchase product you want to remove.
- In the In-App Purchase summary section, click Edit.
- Set Cleared for Sale to No.
- Click Save.
The status of the In-App Purchase product changes to Developer Removed from Sale. Users won’t see this product for sale through the app.
Removing a product from sale prevents auto-renewable subscriptions from renewing, but it doesn’t keep users from being able to restore products that they purchased previously."
"After you’ve removed an In-App Purchase product from sale through your app, you can return it to sale if you want" - doing this, now with a non-consumable or non-renewable identifier should achieve the outcome you're looking for.
