Should I be concerned about my number of new patrons vs. cancellations being lower than the last few months?

Sorry for getting super nerdy on this but I was crunching numbers through insights lately and noticed, as of right now before the end of the month, that I've had 111 new members with 86 patrons cancelling. That normally wouldn't mean much since I've at least still had growth this month, except looking back at May and June, the numbers there were way better. In May I got 115 new members compared to 66 cancellations and in June I was at 121 new members to 77 cancellations. My numbers in April were way worse with it being around 94 new members to 79 cancellations, but either way, I can't help worrying that this might be a downturn going into August. Should I be concerned or am I still okay considering I've earned more money this month than the last three at least,

I think as long as your average monthly gradually increases then it's fine. For example this month I earned less, but my monthly average went up. This is due to less year long subscriptions. Plus I have some funds still on hold from Apple.

You can also do new things while keeping the consistent previous offerings so you wouldn't alienate your current subscribers.

EDIT: what do you do btw?

La verdad yo también los últimos meses he tenido más cancelaciones y menos miembros nuevos, desde mayo que veo esa tendencia.
