Resumen rápido
The important distinction is between an unused Credit and an audiobook you have already purchased. A Credit can have an expiration date, while a purchased audiobook remains in your Library after cancellation.
This guide explains the 12-month rule, what cancellation changes, and the practical checks to make before you stop a membership.

The 12-month Audible Credit rule
Audible’s Credit help page says most Credits expire 12 months after they are issued.
Because each Credit can have its own issue date, an account may contain Credits with different expiration dates. Check the account details instead of treating the whole balance as if it expires on one day.
What cancellation changes
Audible’s cancellation guidance says unused membership Credits may be lost at the end of the final billing cycle.
If cancellation is already planned, use the Credits you do not want to lose before the final billing date.
What you keep after cancellation
Audiobooks purchased with Credits, a credit card, or a debit card remain in your Library. That is different from titles included through a catalog or selections tied to an active membership.
The safest way to think about the difference is simple: purchased books are library ownership; unused Credits and included titles are account benefits with separate rules.
A practical pre-cancellation check
Open your Audible account, review the Credit balance, check the expiration date for each Credit, and use any Credit you do not want to leave unused.
After that, confirm which audiobooks are purchased titles and which are available only through an included catalog.
