If a channel has more than 10 posts in the queue at the time of downgrading, all scheduled posts will continue to publish (unless it is a locked account). You can also choose which channels are locked and unlocked by following the steps in this guide. If you upgrade to a paid plan in the future, with space for the surplus channels, they will automatically unlock. Locked channels remain connected to your account but are not usable. If you have more than three channels connected at the time of downgrading, the surplus channels will be locked.

On the Free plan, you're able to connect up to three social channels and you're able to store up to 10 posts in your queue at any one time. When your account is downgraded to the Free plan, you will then be within the limits of that plan. If the payment doesn’t succeed after those attempts, the account will automatically downgrade to the Free plan. In this case, we’ll send an email notice of that payment failure immediately, and we’ll retry processing the payment three times over a two week period.
