## Cancel in a web browser

> Spending limits live under Settings > Billing > Manage limit. They cap spend; they do not pause the subscription.

1. **Confirm you can change billing** You need permissions to modify billing. Role-Based Access Control docs are linked from the usage and billing page.
2. **Open Settings, then Plan** Go to Settings > Plan. Click License to see allowances and current monthly usage.
3. **Choose More, then Downgrade** To upgrade or downgrade your plan: Settings > Plan, then More > Downgrade. Follow the prompts shown there. Axiom does not publish further button labels. Settings > Billing shows the current breakdown and billing history.

> **Warning:** The public docs do not say when the $25 platform fee or paid features stop after Downgrade. Customer Data may be irretrievably deleted 15 days after the agreement ends.

## Cancel a team plan

1. **Service Description non-renewal is written** The terms say each Service Description renews automatically unless either party gives at least 30 days' written notice of non-renewal before the then-current term ends. That rule is for Service Descriptions and Service Orders, not the self-serve More > Downgrade path.
2. **Deleting the organization is separate** Settings > General, then Delete organization, after you back up data. You cannot access the data after the org is deleted. That is not the documented subscription downgrade path.

## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** The public terms do not publish a general unused-time refund. Termination or expiration does not relieve fees that accrued before termination. SLA service credits reduce future fees for the affected service, cannot be converted to cash, and do not entitle you to a refund. Unused credits expire when the Service Order or Agreement ends. Reseller deals follow the reseller's commercial terms.
- **Pausing:** No subscription pause option is documented. A monthly spending limit under Settings > Billing can cap costs. You can still buy add-ons and credits manually after the limit. That is not a pause of the subscription.
- **Downgrading:** Settings > Plan, then More > Downgrade, with billing permission. Personal remains $0 per month with the Personal allowances. The public docs do not say when Axiom Cloud paid access ends after that downgrade.
- **Account data:** Customer Data may be irretrievably deleted after 15 days following termination or expiration of the Agreement. Profile information and credentials are retained while you have an account. Deleting the organization from Settings > General is irreversible for that org's data; back up first.

## FAQ

**How do I cancel Axiom Cloud?**

With billing permission, go to Settings > Plan, then More > Downgrade, and follow the prompts. Settings > Billing shows the current bill breakdown.

**When does cancellation take effect?**

The public usage-and-billing docs do not say when paid access or the platform fee stop after Downgrade. Service Description non-renewal in the terms is at least 30 days' written notice before term end, which is a different path.

**Does Axiom refund unused time?**

The public terms do not publish a general unused-time refund. Fees accrued before termination remain due. SLA credits are not cash refunds.

**Can I pause instead of cancelling?**

No subscription pause is documented. A monthly spending limit under Settings > Billing caps cost; it is not a pause.

**What happens to my data after I leave?**

Customer Data may be irretrievably deleted 15 days after the agreement ends. Deleting the organization from Settings > General is separate and irreversible for that org's data.
