    Yes and no. If you exceed that, I think they just bill you for the next tier.

    If you cancel, they immediately remote disable the perfectly working cartridges already in your printer that are still full of ink. Even if you’ve fully paid for the remainder of the month.

    It’s a complete scam. Just don’t buy an HP printer, Instant Ink or not.

      Of course they disable the cartridge. You’re paying for ink on a subscription. If you didn’t pay for cart in full, why should you be able to use the rest of it? That’s literally what you signed up for. Otherwise everyone would get a full cartridge for $1.

      If you don’t want to do ink-cart-layaway, don’t sign up and buy the cartridge.

      Disabling mid-month is a scam though.

        Me: writes whole reply about why mid month canceling is a scam, and then realizing I didn’t read your last line and writing this instead.
