Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

Four questions people ask before they cancel
Can I get my money back?

Most direct purchases receive a full refund if cancelled within 14 days. After that, an annual plan billed monthly can charge 50% of the remaining obligation; annual prepaid and month-to-month terms are non-refundable after 14 days.

Refund possible
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

Adobe provides a Change your plan flow. The old plan is cancelled, the new plan starts and is charged immediately, and billing and renewal dates reset. An unused-time refund can apply depending on the old plan.

Free tier exists
Can I pause instead of cancel?

No general Creative Cloud subscription pause was documented in the reviewed official cancellation terms.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

Active plans must be cancelled before Adobe account deletion. Deletion removes files, purchase history, invoices and settings; it can be reversed within 27 days and then becomes permanent.
