Missed Payments

---

The services will stop immediately with a missed payment, however the bot will stay in the group for one week. (This allows for "Woopsie! Forgot yesterday, will pay today".) If there is no payment after one week, then the bot leaves the group on its own, and when/if you reactivate service you will need to choose (again) from the list of available bots at that time, or re-enable the settings for your own bot.

About the "Secret Key" Hash

When you add the SmartBot secret key, the website will change the appearance of it, because it stores a hashed version. As long as the key you are entering is correct, you should be good, no matter what it looks like afterward.
