Short answer

Cancel Windsurf from the plan management page at windsurf.com/subscription/manage-plan; paid individual users can cancel there at any time. It takes about a minute, and paid features stay active until the end of the current billing period before the account drops to the Free plan.

Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

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

The Terms of Service state all subscription payments are non-refundable, and a cancellation must be received before the renewal date to avoid the next charge. A pro-rata refund applies only if Cognition terminates your paid subscription for reasons other than a breach. Separately, you can request a refund of any unspent extra-usage balance at any time through support.

Case by case
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

After cancelling you keep paid features until the end of the billing period, then move to the Free plan: a light usage quota with daily and weekly resets, limited model availability, and unlimited inline edits and Tab completions. Legacy add-on credits were converted to an extra-usage balance at $10 per 250 credits.

Free tier exists
Can I pause instead of cancel?

No pause option is documented. The docs and terms describe only cancellation with access through the end of the billing period.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

The platform terms state that on termination Cognition may, at its option, delete Customer Data associated with the account; no retention timeline is published. The privacy policy retains personal information as needed to provide the service, and account deletion can be requested via [email protected].

Answers checked with the steps above
Do I keep access after I cancel?

Yes. You keep your plan's features until the end of the current billing period, after which you are downgraded to the Free plan.

Can I get a refund when I cancel?

Subscription payments are non-refundable under the Terms of Service, so cancel before your renewal date. You can, however, request a refund of any unspent extra-usage balance through support.

What happens to my unused credits?

Windsurf moved from credits to quotas: remaining add-on credits were converted into an extra-usage balance at $10 per 250 credits, and unspent extra usage is refundable via support.
