end of current period

A cancellation timing in which the cancellation takes effect when the customer's current billing period ends rather than immediately.

In plain English

The customer keeps the time they have already paid for until that billing cycle finishes. The cancellation is set to become effective at that point, not right away.

In context

Here, it communicates that after cancellation, the cutoff for already-paid access is the end of the customer's current billing period, when the cancellation takes effect.
