```
string auto_renew_status
```

## Discussion

This field is returned in the JSON response, in the [`responseBody.Pending_renewal_info`](/documentation/AppStoreReceipts/responseBody/Pending_renewal_info-data.dictionary) array.

The value for this field should not be interpreted as the customer’s subscription status. You can use this value to display an alternative subscription product in your app, such as a lower-level subscription plan to which the user can downgrade from their current plan.

Consider presenting an attractive upgrade or downgrade offer in the same subscription group, if the [`auto_renew_status`](/documentation/AppStoreReceipts/auto_renew_status) value is `“0”`. See [Engineering Subscriptions](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2018/705/) from WWDC 2018 for more information.
