Cancellation & renewal
Subscription cancellation affects future billing and, eventually, Starfire entitlements. It should not be confused with deleting the account or organization.
Renewal
An active subscription renews according to its billing cadence unless it is cancelled or payment fails according to provider configuration.
At renewal, Starfire can update billing-period state such as plan allowance or credits according to the active Billing 4.0 configuration.
Cancel a subscription
Use the Starfire billing surface or Stripe customer portal when the action is available there.
Before cancelling, confirm whether you are changing:
- a personal subscription
- an organization subscription
- seats/quantity
- the entire subscription vs one optional add-on/product when supported
Effective date
Cancellation can be configured to end service immediately or at the end of the current billing period. The account’s billing UI/portal is the source of truth for the effective date.
After entitlement ends
When paid entitlements end, Starfire can fall back to the applicable lower/free access state rather than deleting the account.
Resources that exceed the new plan’s limits can become restricted by storage, model, feature, or retention rules according to current policy.
Stored resources
Cancellation does not inherently mean immediate deletion of projects, conversations, or organization resources. Retention and access behavior are separate from subscription billing.
Organization cancellation
Cancelling an organization subscription should not convert organization-owned resources into one member’s personal property.
If you need to preserve important artifacts or data under a lower plan, review retention/storage limits before the paid entitlement ends.
