Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

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

Cloud purchases are non-refundable by default. A first-time Cloud user may request a refund within 14 days when the service critically fails expectations and there has not been significant usage. Appwrite decides eligibility case by case; submit the request through a Console support ticket.

Refund possible
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

A switch from Pro or Scale to Free keeps paid limits until the end of the current billing period. Then Free limits apply. Excess databases are disabled oldest first and other over-limit resources are disabled, not documented as deleted. All organization admins except the creator are removed if multiple members exist.

Free tier exists
Can I pause instead of cancel?

No Cloud subscription pause option is documented on Appwrite's pricing, Billing, plan-change, terms or refund pages.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

Changing to Free disables resources above Free limits rather than documenting their deletion. Subscription cancellation and account deletion are separate. Appwrite does not publish a post-cancellation retention period, so export important data before any later account or project deletion.
