How declined pledges work? (Patreon)

Hello. One of my Patrons declined their pledge. Will he/she still see posts for Patrons or the person won't have any access untill the next pledge will be charged?
Or should I delete this person? I don't know I feel a bit deceived right now.
Thank you in advance...

They'll be able to see the posts because they're technically a patron, even if they declined their pledge. Don't be too upset with them though, something may have come up unexpectedly that meant they couldn't support you this month. If they patroned you in the first place they must really like your work a lot, even if they did end up declining later. Still, if they're declining their pledges, removing them as a patron might be appropriate. You may want to ask them why they declined the pledge so you can decide what to do.

Yes, they will still be able to see everything.

You may want to try contacting them about it. Patrons sometimes don't mean to decline pledges, I had one patreon that patreon refused to let any of his pledges through, so he would just send me the money on paypal but remain on patreon because he still wanted the extra stuff (it was a commission slot as well, and he wanted to make sure he was still getting those every month) then one month patreon decided to do ALL of his past pledges at once and took 700$ out of his bank and bounced his checks and pretty much fucked him over. So he was screwed bankwise and I had to refund 700$ for him.
