Hello,
I have autopay set up on my account and it says the next payment date is July 6th, but I also have a rate plan changed future dated (165$) which it says will swith on July 7th.
Will it do the autopay after the rate plan change? Or will it charge me 120$ on the 6th, and then have to top up more on the 7th?
I just don't want it to double charge me.
Thanks.

You will not be double charged. The difference between the dates is normal and nothing to worry about. For every billing cycle the "payment due date" as seen on the self-serve overview page is the last paid day of your current cycle and will always be one day before the actual renewal. The renewal date is the one listed on your rewards page.
Here's what happens at each renewal:
1. Expiration of completed period. Account will show "plan expired" on payment due date.
2. Conversion of all rewards to available funds at midnight; rewards reset. Payment is not collected yet at this point. Account will now show "Your account has been suspended" in big red letters.
3. In the early hours of the morning, available funds will be used (if any), credit card will be charged (if necessary), and plan will be renewed or changed to new plan as requested. Account status will then show as "active."
Throughout this process, your service should be uninterrupted. You only need to contact a moderator for help if your service actually stops (can't make calls or use data). I advise you to relax, wait, and check your account after 7AM on the morning of July 7th to verify that the new plan is showing in your account.
Note: I see from your posting history that you'll be switching to the $55 4 GB/month promo plan. Just a forewarning that your new plan details will include the description "Expired." This is also nothing to worry about, as that refers to any promo plan that is no longer offered. Once switched, you'll be able to renew that plan going forward. See here for an example:
