I'm maintaining auto-renewable subscriptions in several countries. Recently I wanna stop to serve a subscription in a specific country, while continue to serve it in other countries.

AppStore's update at 2023/03/09 enables us to discontinue an auto-renewable subscription for a specific country. But it also says as below.

Before discontinuing an auto-renewable subscription, remove it from sale to avoid additional sign-ups and renewals.

(c.f. https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-subscriptions/set-availability-for-an-auto-renewable-subscription)

I believe removing a subscription from sale will also make users in other countries stop purchase and renewal. But I want them to use that subscription and auto-renewal. Is there any way to discontinue an auto-renewable subscription only in a specific country?

Hello, With the March release you now have the capability to control an In-app purchases availability PER country/region. If you remove a country/region from sale no new customers can subscribe while existing subscribers will retain service till their current expiration date, and at that time they will churn.

Before, you had a single "cleared for sale" checkbox globally, but now it is per country/region. So if you leave the other countries/regions enabled, they will not be impacted.
