next cycle

The next cycle is the billing cycle that comes immediately after the current billing cycle.

In plain English

Billing happens in repeating periods. "Next cycle" points to the very next period in that sequence, not a later one further ahead.

Here, it means the plan change happens in the billing cycle immediately after the current one.

Meaning limits
