8962 prem tax credit - do you need 12 mths of coverage? https://www.irs.gov/affordable-care-act/individuals-and-families/premium-tax-credit-flow-chart-are-you-eligible

the above chart notes "were all premiums paid".  I have paid 8 months of coverage thus far but might not need it going forward.  if i just stop paying through year end, do i disqualify myself from credit eligibility?
