EM-08: Pause or downgrade Mailchimp billing

• Source document: .agents/email-migration-and-sequence-plan.md (§4 item 4; §6 checklist Step 5)
• Owner: 👤 User only
• Priority: Medium (saves about $45–$60 a month)
• Status: Unverified (checklist box unticked)
• Depends on: EM-01 (audience imported into Kit) and EM-06 (new form verified working live)

[!IMPORTANT] User-only task: Reece needs to do this. It needs the Mailchimp account login.

Task

Once Kit is confirmed working end to end, stop paying for Mailchimp without deleting the account, so historical campaign reports are kept.

Context

• In Mailchimp, go to Account & Billing, then downgrade to the free plan or pause/archive contacts.
• Don’t delete the account; past reports and exports remain useful.

Completion criteria

• A live test signup on jackhighbowls.com has been confirmed in Kit first.
• Mailchimp billing has stopped (paid plan cancelled or downgraded).
• Mailchimp account kept, not deleted.
