Twitch renews your sub on the same day of every month. If you subscribe to a monthly tier 2 subscription, Twitch will subtract $9.99 on the same day subsequent months after the subscription.

Besides regular subs, Twitch also offers gifted subs. Gifted subs are when a viewer purchases a subscription for another user as a gift.
