How do I cancel Axiom?
3 min Self-serve No fee To cancel
Short answer
Downgrade Axiom from Settings, then Plan, using More then Downgrade, with billing permission. It takes a couple of minutes. The public docs do not say when paid access ends after that. The public terms do not publish a general unused-time refund; SLA credits are not cash refunds.

What you are cancelling
Event data platform. Axiom Cloud is $25 per month platform fee plus usage. Personal is $0 per month. This guide covers every place the subscription can live - the website and team plans - plus what happens to refunds, pausing and your data afterwards.
Step-by-step instructions
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.
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.
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, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelCan I get my money back?
The public terms do not publish a general unused-time refund.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.
Is there a cheaper way to stay?
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.
Can I pause instead of cancel?
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.
What happens to my 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.
Frequently asked questions
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.
