Enterprise invoice customers should also check the Order Form.
Organization administrators can open Organization Settings. The Billing inclusions report requires billing administration permissions.

Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelBuildkite's Terms of Service say all fees are nonrefundable except as expressly otherwise provided. A refund of prepaid unused subscription fees is described if Buildkite terminates after a material functionality reduction it cannot cure, or if Buildkite terminates other than for the customer's uncured breach. Ordinary customer cancellation is not described as refundable.
Public docs tell you to manage the subscription from Organization Settings but do not publish a self-serve downgrade path or say that a cancelled Pro organization reverts to Free. A Free Plan exists for up to 5 users.
No pause option is documented on the public pricing, pricing-and-plans, or Terms of Service pages.
Pricing lists 30-day build and artifact retention on Free and Pro. Enterprise lists 1 year plus historical export for builds and custom artifact retention. The Terms say hosted build artifacts are kept for the period in the Order Form or Plan (90 days for Enterprise unless otherwise specified) and may then be deleted, and that access ends immediately when the agreement expires or is terminated.
