It takes about a minute, the subscription stays active until the end of the billing period, and Anthropic says to cancel at least 24 hours before the next billing date.

Payments are non-refundable except where the Consumer Terms or the law say otherwise. EEA and UK customers may receive a refund within 14 days of purchase, prorated by usage. Web refunds are requested through the in-product "Get help" messenger ("Claude Refund Request"); App Store refunds are decided by Apple via reportaproblem.apple.com; Google Play refunds go through Anthropic support. Refunds cannot be processed while a bank dispute is pending.
After cancelling, the paid plan stays active until the end of the billing period, then the account continues on the $0 free plan with chat access at lower usage limits. Anthropic does not document exactly which paid-only features change at that moment.
No pause option is documented in Anthropic's help center - only cancelling, refunds and plan changes.

Chats you allowed to improve Claude may be kept de-identified up to 5 years; flagged chats up to 2 years. Account deletion (Settings → Account → Delete account) is permanent; paid accounts must cancel first and wait until the period ends.
