Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

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

An initial monthly cloud purchase is refundable only within the first paid month after the trial. A new annual cloud subscription is refundable within 30 days of the first purchase. Cloud renewals and upgrades are not refundable, and the published policy does not apply to Enterprise subscriptions.

Refund possible
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

Instead of deactivating Jira, Standard and Premium can be changed to Free for the next billing period when the site has 10 users or fewer. Remaining days are not refunded. In the original billing experience, an annual subscription requires support to move to Free.

Can I pause instead of cancel?

No subscription pause option is documented in Atlassian's current cloud billing, plan-change, or deactivation documentation.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

After a paid period ends, the site stays accessible for 15 days before deactivation. Atlassian lists a 60-day retention period for deactivated Free, Standard, Premium, and Enterprise app data, but unsubscribing from all Jira apps on a site deletes Jira data immediately. Atlassian account deletion is separate and leaves created issues and comments in place.

Frequently asked questions

Answers checked with the steps above
Who can cancel Jira Cloud?

Billing admins, organization admins, and site administrators can deactivate a subscription in the improved billing experience. The original flow also permits billing contacts.

Does Jira stop immediately after cancellation?

No. The paid period finishes first, and Atlassian keeps the site accessible for 15 additional days before deactivation.

Can I switch Jira to Free instead of closing it?

Yes, if the site has 10 users or fewer. The move from Standard or Premium to Free takes effect in the next billing period.

Can I get a Jira refund?

Only qualifying initial purchases: the first paid month for a monthly cloud subscription or the first 30 days of a new annual subscription. Renewals and upgrades are not refundable.

What happens to Jira data after deactivation?

Atlassian lists a 60-day retention period for deactivated paid app data, but warns that removing all Jira apps from a site deletes Jira data immediately.

Does deleting my Atlassian account cancel Jira?

No. Subscription cancellation is separate. Account deletion removes personal profile data after its grace period but leaves created issues and comments in the products.
