Looks like it also possible to put your account on a break if you talk to Customer support. IE: Tell them you have financial hard ship and you wanna stop paying for a few mos.

I've called them about this, but my specific question to them was "what happens if my account becomes inactive?" their reply was

your account will lapse, and perks will be removed from your account until you add game time onto it. the annual pass will remain however.
I asked them to clarify if my account will suffer in any way, even outlining specific scenarios (will i get bad standing, will it get banned) and the general (as well as specific) answer was no. I even asked the guy to verify this which he went away and did whilst he put me on hold to do it.
Take it for what it's worth - he told me they can't remove it, but that was something I never asked him about directly, he just mentioned it whilst discussing some other aspect of the call. I'm sure if I had asked them specifically can they remove it, this is why that it may have gone a different route.
edit: I'm keeping my annual pass anyway, I just am not able to add game-time until 6th January due to unexpected turn of events.
I ran into a few other posts where peeps say the managed to get out of it, Blizz doesn't seem **** enough to care. I'm sure if tons of peeps were they would though.
And btw I HAVE been to Catholic school and the nuns do love their rulers...
Oh yes they do....
