## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** Discord reviews Nitro refund requests submitted within five days of the initial purchase. Nitro refunds are generally limited to one refund in that purchase category, and promotional benefits can make a purchase ineligible. Apple purchases must be refunded through Apple.
- **Pausing:** Discord does not document a pause for Nitro. Canceling leaves benefits active through the paid period, and Discord lets you re-subscribe later.
- **Downgrading:** Discord's Subscriptions page includes options to switch plans. A change must be made on the same device type used for the purchase.
- **Account data:** Canceling Nitro does not delete the Discord account. Discord says account deletion normally enters a 15 to 30 day recovery hold, identifying information can take up to 45 days to leave backups, and some transaction, safety and legal records are retained longer.
