Title: Introduce a "Pause" option for add-on subscriptions (Lumo Plus, Meet Professional)
Body:
Many users need add-on services like Lumo Plus or Meet Professional only intermittently — perhaps a few days of intensive AI assistance, or one or two large meetings per year. Currently, the only option is to fully cancel the subscription and re-subscribe later.
This creates an unnecessary dilemma:
Keep the subscription active and pay for months of non-use, or
Cancel and re-subscribe each time, which is inconvenient and risks forgetting to activate it when needed.
A simple "Pause subscription" feature — allowing users to suspend billing for one or more months while preserving their account configuration — would solve this cleanly. Streaming services, gym memberships, and software tools already offer this. It would let users align their spending with their actual usage, building trust rather than relying on inertia.
This would be a meaningful step toward the kind of transparent, user-respecting billing that distinguishes Proton from the extractive practices of Big Tech.
