I keep an old Starlink in a closet for this exact reason

Does Starlink have a temporary or “pay as you go” option?
Not anymore. You need a $5/mo charge to keep your account hot.
They still give you 500kbps of speed, which is enough for checking emails, voice calls, navigation, music streaming, etc.
That's pretty reasonable.
Historically Starlink roam let you pause/suspend the service and restart it when you need-

In August they changed their plans so you’d need to cancel and re-subscribe.

So I'm not the only guy doing this...
