# Cancel pending downgrade for a membership contract

> Cancels a scheduled/pending downgrade for a specific membership contract. This endpoint removes the pending downgrade so that the membership will continue with its current plan.

**Important Notes:**
- The downgrade must be pending (not yet executed) to be cancelled
- Once cancelled, the membership will remain on its current plan
- An activity log entry is created when a downgrade is cancelled

**Use Cases:**
- Allow customers to change their mind about a scheduled downgrade
- Cancel downgrades when customers upgrade or renew
- Administrative cancellation of pending plan changes

**Authentication:** Requires API key authentication via X-API-Key header or api_key parameter
