Step-by-step instructions

1
An admin must submit the cancellation

Organization billing is unique per organization. The docs say an admin cancels from Settings > Billing.

2
Downgrade at cycle end if you only need a cheaper tier

Upgrades bill pro rata immediately. Downgrades change at the end of the current billing cycle and can remove teams, database backups and monitoring.

3
Export managed databases during the grace period

After you cancel, managed database clusters stay for seven days, then the cluster and all data are permanently deleted.
