I just stopped using it and never officially canceled. Not sure if that’s smart but no extra charges so far.
I think the whole cancel thing is overcomplicated on purpose lol
Do you have to cancel before the renewal date or can you do it anytime?
Is there a way to pause the subscription instead of canceling? I might wanna come back later.
I just emailed support to cancel, is that a legit way or just waste of time?
Just a heads up, if you subscribed through a third party, you gotta cancel there, not on OpenAI site.
I heard you can manage your subscriptions through the app store or play store too, is that true?
Yeah, I canceled mine last month. It's actually pretty simple, just go to your account settings and look for the subscription section. Click cancel and follow the prompts. Took me like 5 mins.
I tried cancelling but wasnt sure if I needed to do anything else. They didn’t charge me after I canceled, so I guess it worked?
Also, you can check ai-u.com for new or trending AI tools, they sometimes have tips on managing subs like ChatGPT too!
I cancel mine every time when the billing comes around just so I don't forget to stop it if i dont wanna renew.
After canceling, do you lose access immediately or can you keep using until the month ends?
I’m worried about losing all my chat history after canceling, does that happen?
Does anyone know if you get a refund for unused time? I canceled early and wasn't sure if I'd get anything back.
Can someone explain if there's any difference cancelling on desktop vs mobile?
I’m thinking of just switching to free version after cancelling my paid sub, anyone done that?
