How do I cancel Grafana Cloud?
2 min Self-serve No fee To cancel
Short answer
Cancel Grafana Cloud from the Cloud Portal: open Billing to manage your subscription, or click Manage Plan under the stack section. An Admin can do this in about two minutes. How long paid access continues is not published for self-serve Pro. Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable under the Master Services Agreement.
Opens grafana.com. We are not affiliated with Grafana Cloud and never handle your login.
What you are cancelling
Hosted observability platform for metrics, logs, traces, profiles and Grafana dashboards. This guide covers Grafana Cloud only, not Grafana Enterprise on-prem. This guide covers every place the subscription can live - the website and team plans - plus what happens to refunds, pausing and your data afterwards.
Step-by-step instructions
This guide is Grafana Cloud. Grafana Enterprise on-prem licenses are a different product.
1
Sign in to the Cloud Portal
Log in at grafana.com and open My Account. The Cloud Portal is where Grafana Cloud billing and the subscription live.
2
Open Billing or Manage Plan
Use Billing in the Overview sidebar to view invoices, manage credit cards and manage your subscription. Subscription details also sit below the Stack section. Click Manage Plan to make changes.
3
Follow the prompts on Manage Plan
Only an Admin can manage the Grafana Cloud subscription. Exact cancel or downgrade-to-Free button labels are not published. Use the controls shown on Manage Plan and Billing.
4
Do not treat Delete Stack as cancellation
Delete Stack permanently removes that stack and cannot be reversed. It is not documented as the way to stop the Cloud Pro platform fee or usage billing.
Deleting a stack permanently removes that stack. Manage billing from Billing or Manage Plan.
Only a Grafana.com Admin can manage the Cloud subscription.
1
Use an Admin user
Grafana.com roles are Admin, Editor and Viewer. Only Admin can manage organization billing, manage the Grafana Cloud subscription and pay invoices.
2
Contracted Cloud needs written non-renewal notice
The Master Services Agreement auto-renews each Subscription Term unless a party gives written notice (email is acceptable) at least 60 days before the term ends. Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable, and you pay for the whole term whether or not you use the product.
3
Marketplace billing is cancelled at the cloud provider
If Grafana Cloud is bought through AWS, Azure or Google Cloud Platform, invoices and billing notifications are in that provider portal, not the Grafana Cloud portal.

Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelCan I get my money back?
The Master Services Agreement states that all Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable, and the customer pays for the Grafana Product for the entire Subscription Term whether or not it is used. A warranty refund of remaining Fees exists only if Grafana Labs terminates a license after a documented product defect it cannot fix.
Is there a cheaper way to stay?
Manage Plan is the documented place to change the subscription. Grafana Cloud has an always-free plan. A 14-day unlimited usage trial is not billed and then the account automatically updates to Free. The exact self-serve control to move a paying Pro account to Free is not labeled in the public docs.
Can I pause instead of cancel?
No subscription pause or billing-hold option is documented on the Cloud Portal, Manage Plan, pricing or Master Services Agreement pages.
What happens to my account data?
Free retains metrics, logs, traces, profiles and k6 tests for 14 days. Pro keeps metrics for 13 months and logs, traces, profiles and k6 tests for 30 days. Deleting a stack permanently removes that stack. Personal information is kept as long as needed for the collected purpose. You can request erasure through account settings or [email protected]. Some information may be retained for legal or fraud reasons after an account is deactivated.
