Step-by-step instructions

Deleting a service stops future service usage, but usage already consumed is still billed in arrears.

1
Export the data you need

Deleting a ClickHouse Cloud service is destructive. Export or move every database you need to retain before continuing.

2
Delete each Cloud service

Use the official clickhousectl CLI to delete each Cloud service. A write-capable API key is required for destructive operations. Repeat this for every billable service.

3
Check the final invoice

Pay-as-you-go usage is billed monthly in arrears. Already consumed usage can therefore appear after service deletion.

Service deletion is destructive and no public recovery window is promised.

Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

Four questions people ask before they cancel
Can I get my money back?

ClickHouse publishes no standard refund for a customer-initiated cancellation. Its general terms only describe limited refunds for specific termination-for-breach situations.

See policy
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

ClickHouse Cloud has no published permanent free hosted plan. Lowering resources or deleting services reduces future usage charges.

Read this
Can I pause instead of cancel?

Some ClickHouse Cloud services can scale to zero and stop compute charges while idle. This is not a subscription pause, and storage or other usage can remain billable.

Read this
What happens to my account data?

Service deletion is destructive. The public Cloud materials do not promise a post-deletion recovery window, so export data before deleting a service.

Frequently asked questions

Answers checked with the steps above
How do I stop ClickHouse Cloud charges?

Export required data and delete every Cloud service. Already consumed pay-as-you-go usage can still appear on the final invoice.

Does scale-to-zero cancel ClickHouse Cloud?

No. It can stop compute charges while idle, but it does not cancel the account and other usage can remain billable.

Can I get a refund?

ClickHouse does not publish a standard refund for a customer-initiated cancellation.

Can I recover a deleted service?

The public Cloud materials promise no recovery window. Treat deletion as permanent and export data first.
