It takes 3 to 10 minutes, membership ends at the end of the billing period, and direct-billed unused credits expire after that final period. Audible says paid membership fees are not refunded, subject to applicable law.

Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelCan I get my money back?
Audible's conditions say paid membership fees are not refunded, subject to applicable law. Apple and Google purchases follow their store policies.
Is there a cheaper way to stay?
Audible permits plan changes, but included credits and catalog access vary. Cancellation ends membership benefits while purchased titles remain in the library.
Can I pause instead of cancel?
Eligible paid memberships can be paused for up to 90 days once per 12 months after 30 paid days. Payments stop during the pause, and benefits vary by plan.
What happens to my account data?
