Before you cancel
First identify the account and payment route tied to ChatGPT Plus. If you have multiple email addresses, check each account’s plan settings and search your receipts for the subscription provider.
- Save any information you need from the account.
- Note the renewal date and billing provider.
- Use the account’s official settings or app-store subscription page; never share your password with someone offering to cancel for you.
Cancel a subscription started on the web
- Sign in to the ChatGPT account that has the paid plan.
- Open your profile menu and go to settings.
- Open the plan or subscription area and choose its manage or cancel option.
- Review the confirmation screen and submit the cancellation request.
- Return to the plan page and check that it shows an end date or that renewal is canceled.
If you cannot find the subscription, confirm you are signed into the correct account and check the receipt for the billing provider.
Cancel through Apple or Google
If you started the subscription in a mobile app, billing may be managed by the app store rather than the web account.
Apple subscriptions
On your Apple device, open your Apple Account subscription settings, find the ChatGPT subscription, and follow the cancellation steps. Confirm its status in the same subscription list.
Google Play subscriptions
Open Google Play’s payments and subscriptions area using the Google account that made the purchase. Select the subscription and cancel renewal there.
Cancel with the provider shown on the receipt. Removing an app from your device does not itself stop a subscription.
Confirm the cancellation and keep a record
Save the confirmation screen or email, and note the date access is scheduled to end. Check the account again before the next billing date if the status is unclear.
If you are still charged
Compare the charge date and merchant with your confirmation. Contact the billing provider listed on your receipt and provide the account email, transaction date, and cancellation confirmation. Never include a password or full card number.
Do not confuse cancellation with deletion
Deleting an account and stopping a recurring payment are separate actions. Verify that the subscription’s renewal status changed before taking any optional account-deletion step.
