You can add or remove contracted developers at any time. You will receive a credit for any of the contracted developer fees for a given month if you downgrade your number of contracted developers after a billing cycle has started, including by switching to having no contracted developers, before the end of a billing period. However, if you switch to having no contracted developers, you will still have the ability to work with your contracted developer until the end of the billing period.
