We have a membership type that auto-renews every month. People pay via Authorize.net, Paypal, or they give us their info from their check and an automated draft is created over via Authorize.net.

If you are using Drupal, you could set up a webform that allows people to change their membership status.

You'd just want to carefully select which membership statuses you want to allow people to give themselves by editing that field and deselecting inappropriate options after adding it to the form.
