**PATCH** `https://www.digicert.com/partner-subscription/api/v1/account/settings`

Use this endpoint to update an account setting for the authenticated Partner Subscriptions account.

Each request updates one setting. To update a setting, provide the setting `name` and the new `value` in the request body.


> **Info**
>
> - This endpoint updates settings for the account authenticated by the `X-PARTNER-APIKEY` header. Use a parent account Partner Subscriptions API key to update parent account settings. Use a subaccount Partner Subscriptions API key to update settings for that subaccount.
> - When you update a setting to the system default value, the account-specific override is removed. The next time you retrieve the setting, `is_default` returns `true`.
> - The `auto_renew_subscription` setting controls the default auto-renewal behavior for new ACME contracts. When set to `1`, new ACME contracts default to auto-renew enabled unless explicitly disabled during contract creation. When set to `0`, new ACME contracts default to auto-renew disabled unless explicitly enabled during contract creation.
