ChatGPT Plus cancellation tips

These tips can help you avoid common issues when cancelling ChatGPT Plus.

You keep access until period ends
After cancelling, you'll still have ChatGPT Plus features until your current monthly billing cycle expires.
Check your billing source first
If you don't see cancel options in your OpenAI account, you may be billed through an app store instead.
API usage is separate
ChatGPT Plus cancellation doesn't affect OpenAI API credits or usage. Those are managed separately in your API dashboard.

Good to know

Check these points to avoid issues with your cancellation.

1. Check who's billing you

Make sure you're cancelling through the right provider. If you signed up through an app store, cancel there instead.

2. Your access continues

You'll keep ChatGPT Plus features until your current billing period ends, even after cancelling immediately.

3. Deleting the app doesn't cancel

Removing ChatGPT from your phone doesn't cancel your subscription. You need to cancel through your account settings.

Other options to consider

If you're not using ChatGPT Plus enough, you might consider these alternatives instead of cancelling completely.

Downgrade to ChatGPT Free

If cost is the issue, you can always use the free version of ChatGPT. You'll lose priority access and GPT-4, but basic ChatGPT is still available.

Free tier includes basic ChatGPT with GPT-3.5, though with usage limits and no priority access during peak times.

If you can't cancel directly

Don't see a cancel option? Your subscription might be billed through one of these providers instead.

Apple App Store

If you subscribed through the ChatGPT iOS app, cancel through your iPhone's subscription settings.
