US MAC Subscription Renewal Question

You can turn autopay off in your Quicken.com account. But there's no way to say "skip this year, but continue autopay in future years." You could simply turn off autopay for now, and sometime after you apply your subscription purchase to extend your subscription for a year, you could turn it back on.

But I'd suggest that there is no pressing need to keep autopay turned on; it will always renew at the highest (list) price. If you're certain you'll never want to purchase a retail copy of Quicken which might be available for a discount, and you want the convenience of autopay, then I guess you could turn it on and forget about it. But it's not difficult to have autopay off and log into your Quicken account to pay for a renewal each year.

Caveat to what I wrote above: this assumes that the new copy of Quicken you purchased on sale is not a copy which states it is for new customers only. If not, the activation code you received will add one year to your current subscription as soon as you enter it. But if it is a "new customers" version, you'd have to create a separate, new Quicken ID using a different email address, and then migrate your existing Quicken data file(s) to this new Quicken ID; then next year, if you want to continue with the original Quicken ID, you'd need to move your data files back to the original Quicken ID. This isn't particularly difficult to do, but it just adds some extra steps.
