How do I cancel Fly.io?
10 min Self-serve No fee To cancel
Short answer
Stop Fly.io charges from the dashboard: destroy each app, delete remaining volumes, certificates and organizations, then use Delete Account under Account Settings if you want the account gone. It takes about 10 minutes and billing stops as resources are deleted. Refunds are considered case by case through [email protected].

Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelCan I get my money back?
Fly.io considers refunds case by case for situations such as accidentally created compute or attack-driven bills. Contact [email protected].
Is there a cheaper way to stay?
New customers use pay-as-you-go. Legacy plan customers can move to pay-as-you-go but cannot return to the legacy plan.
Can I pause instead of cancel?
Stopping a Machine does not stop all charges. Stopped Machines still incur root filesystem storage charges, and attached volumes remain billable.
What happens to my account data?
Deleting an application destroys it. Account deletion requires all listed apps, organizations and other resources to be cleaned up first.
