## Response Fields

Same as [Create Subscription Product response](/api-reference/endpoints/subscription-products/create-product#response-fields).

<Note>
  Deactivating a subscription product prevents **new signups** but does **not** cancel existing active subscriptions. Subscribers continue their current billing cycle unaffected.
</Note>

## Errors

> **Retry policy:** Never retry 4xx — fix the request and resubmit. Retry 5xx with exponential backoff (start 5s, max 3 attempts).
