How to cancel Chainstack
Cancel via web (direct Chainstack account)
- Sign in to your Chainstack account and go to Billing.
- Delete all nodes, projects and subgraphs tied to the Organization first.
- Click "Suspend Organization" in Billing. Suspension completes after 2 days before final cancellation.
- To permanently delete the account, email [email protected] or submit the support form with your Organization ID or registered email.
- Official help: Canceling your subscription.
App Store / Google Play and other channels
- Chainstack's Help Center and Terms do not document cancellation via App Store or Google Play.
- If you subscribed through a mobile store, contact Chainstack support directly and keep evidence of the store purchase and account details.
What happens when you cancel
Access and service stopping
After you click "Suspend Organization," services enter suspension and then stop after the 2‑day suspension period. Access to running nodes and hosted resources will be terminated according to the suspension timeline.
Billing and data
Billing typically stops after cancellation but charges already billed are treated per Chainstack's fees policy. You should export or back up any data before suspending or deleting resources, as permanent deletion may follow.
Will I get a refund?
Standard refund policy
Chainstack's Terms of Service state that subscription and usage fees (including trial or cancellation) are non‑refundable unless otherwise specified.

Documentation checklist
Before you cancel
- Organization ID and registered email address.
- List of active nodes, projects and subgraphs to delete.
- Billing receipts and recent invoices.
If you need a dispute
- Copies of cancellation requests and timestamps.
- Support ticket IDs and replies from Chainstack.
- Bank or card statements showing disputed charges.
Common mistakes
Timing and resource deletion
Example: Trying to suspend an Organization before deleting nodes or projects can block cancellation. Always remove resources first to avoid delays.
Allow at least the 2‑day suspension window to complete and confirm termination.
Poor documentation
Example: Not saving confirmation emails or support conversations reduces leverage if you need a refund or dispute a charge.
Always record dates, screenshots and ticket IDs when you cancel or contact support.
