How do I cancel my subscription, and what are the implications for my billing, data access, and reactivation?

To cancel your subscription, follow these steps:
Navigate to your Account Settings → Billing → Manage Subscription section.
Click on “Cancel Subscription” or “Downgrade Plan”.
You’ll be prompted to confirm your decision and provide optional feedback.
After confirming, you’ll receive a cancellation confirmation via email.
What Happens Next:
Data Retention:
Some platforms offer a 30–90 day retention policy during which your data can be reactivated.
After this period, your account may be deleted or downgraded to a free tier with limited functionality.
Reactivation:
You can reactivate anytime by logging in and choosing a new plan.
If done within the retention period, all data and configurations are typically restored instantly.
Always download a data backup before canceling if you plan to move away or remain inactive for an extended period.
