Changing billing frequency will reset stipend?

Hi!
I'm planning to upgrade to premium before the reduction in stipend.
Just one question: since downgrading to basic then upgrading again would count as being a new premium account, having a reduced stipend, is the same true when one changes billing frequency?

By the way, how does one changes billing frequency?

I'm planning to make a three month subscription followed by an annually renewed one and would like to know if i could count on the L$500 stipend forever.

Thank you in advance.

No, if you stay Premium and just change billing frequency, your Premium account won't be counted as a "new" one with a lower L$400 stipend. It will still be recognized as an ongoing one with a L$500 stipend.
