Recurring Subscriptions: Payments for Rebills End After: (Unlimited) rebills

I have never seen a ccbill sponsor have it set for anything but "(Unlimited) rebills"

I don't even know if a sponsor has the option to set it as anything else.

But it can't really be called shaving because the affiliates can see it.

That's one reason, but not the biggest reason, you need to do like
Relentless said and compare the income you get from various programs.
If you do a comparison, you might find that one program earns you
twice as much as another program. You can't tell whether the poorly
performing program is sucks because they are shaving, or because
their tour doesn't sell, or because they have traffic leaks or whatever,
but you can easily tell that they send you less money, so you shouldn't
use them. It really doesn't matter WHY your checks are lower with one
program or another - whether it's shaving or something innocent. What
really matters in the end is which program makes you the most money.
