Will I lose my emojis and boosts if I cancel Nitro?

Yes. When your billing period ends, you'll lose access to custom and animated emojis across servers, HD streaming, 500 MB uploads, and your Nitro badge. Any **Server Boosts** you applied will be removed from those servers, which may drop the server's perk level. Friends and DMs remain intact, only the premium customisations disappear.

How do I cancel Discord Nitro on iPhone?

Don't try to cancel inside the Discord app. Open **Settings → tap your Apple ID → Subscriptions**, find Discord, tap **Cancel Subscription**. If you only see 'Renew', it's already cancelled. Refunds for iOS purchases must be requested through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, Discord cannot refund App Store transactions.

Does Discord Nitro have a free trial?

Discord occasionally offers free Nitro trials through partners like Epic Games and Xbox Game Pass. These auto-convert to paid Nitro at the end of the trial unless you cancel, and they renew at the **yearly** rate in some promos, which is how users get hit with a $139 charge. Cancel the moment you claim the trial; perks stay active until the trial ends.

Is there a cancellation fee for Discord Nitro?

No. Discord does not charge a cancellation fee. You keep Nitro perks until the end of your paid billing period, then the subscription simply expires. The only 'cost' is that Discord doesn't refund the unused portion of a yearly plan, there is no proration.

Can I cancel Discord Nitro without logging in?

If you can't access your account, email Discord's Billing Support via the form at **dis.gd/billing** using the email address tied to the Discord account. Include your payment ID if you can find it. Discord's help centre confirms this is the official workaround for locked-out users.

How do I cancel a Discord Server Boost?

Go to **User Settings → Subscriptions**, find your Server Boost subscription and click **Cancel**. The boost remains on the server until the end of your billing period, then drops off, potentially reducing the server's perk level. Accidental boost purchases are eligible for a refund only within 5 days and only if not used.

Can I pause Discord Nitro instead of cancelling?

No. Discord does not offer a pause option. Your only choices are to cancel (subscription ends at the next renewal) or downgrade from Nitro ($9.99) to **Nitro Basic** ($2.99) if you still want emoji and small upload perks. You can re-subscribe at any time from User Settings → Nitro.

Why am I still being charged after cancelling Discord?

Usually one of three things: the cancellation never completed (no written confirmation), the subscription bills through Apple or Google and must be cancelled there, or a minimum term is still running. Charges continuing after a confirmed cancellation can be disputed with your bank as a chargeback.

How do I delete my Discord account?

Cancel the subscription first, then request account deletion in settings or by email. If there is no self-serve option, email a written erasure request citing the applicable data-protection law; most companies complete erasure within about 30 days.

Please confirm by reply that the subscription has been cancelled and that no further charges will be taken.

Best,

Discord’s refund policy

Discord allows one refund per purchase category (Nitro, Server Boost, etc.) and only if you request it within 5 days of the charge, and typically only if you haven't used any of the perks. iOS purchases must be refunded through Apple, not Discord. Paysafecard and Orbs purchases are never refundable. There is no proration on yearly plans.

“Refunds for purchases described in this Refund Policy are one-time refunds only, unless we explicitly state otherwise in this Policy. This means that you are only eligible for one refund under each purchase category.”

Does Discord charge a cancellation fee?

We found no cancellation fee in Discord’s published terms. On a rolling plan you simply pay to the end of the current billing period and nothing after. If you’re inside a fixed minimum term, check your signup email for the end date, cancelling early is where fees usually hide.

What doesn’t work for cancelling Discord

Based on 5 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.

✕ Deleting the Discord app to stop billing, Uninstalling the app does not cancel the subscription, billing continues until cancelled in settings or via the store you subscribed through.
✕ Cancelling a desktop subscription via the App Store (or vice versa), Subscriptions must be cancelled on the same platform type where they were originally purchased.
✕ Requesting a refund after using Nitro perks, Using emoji across servers, boosting, or uploading a large file in the 5-day window voids refund eligibility.
✕ Refunding a claimed Nitro gift, Once another user redeems the gift link, Discord will not refund the purchaser.
✕ Refunding Paysafecard or Orbs purchases, Refund Policy explicitly excludes both payment methods.
✕ Expecting a prorated refund on yearly Nitro, Discord does not offer partial-month or partial-year refunds.

Cancelled Discord but still being charged?

Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:

The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Discord, treat it as not cancelled. Email support@discord.com referencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since.
You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Discord’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
Billing lag. A charge that was already in flight when you cancelled can still land a few days later. One trailing charge can be normal; two is not.

If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Discord charges again.

How Discord will try to keep you

Discord may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.

They’ll say: “Auto-closed ticket after 3 days of silence”
You say: Reply to the billing ticket every 24 hours referencing your payment ID; users on Discord's own support forum report tickets being marked 'solved' automatically after 72 hours of no response.
They’ll say: “Confirmation-email loop ('reply I confirm…' wording)”
You say: Discord's billing bot sends a templated email asking you to reply with the exact phrase confirming cancellation and refund, send it verbatim including your account email and payment ID or the ticket stalls.
They’ll say: “Redirect to the App Store / Google Play”
You say: If billed by Apple, request the refund at reportaproblem.apple.com, Discord will refuse iOS refunds itself. Google Play purchases go through Google's refund flow.
They’ll say: “'One refund per category, ever' wall”
You say: Quote the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 or EU Consumer Rights Directive 14-day cooling-off period in writing, statutory rights override the 5-day store policy for EU/UK users on digital subscriptions where service hasn't been fully consumed.
They’ll say: “Accidental Server Boost / yearly free-trial renewal”
You say: Open a billing ticket within minutes referencing the unused boosts; if Discord refuses, file a chargeback with your card issuer citing 'subscription not authorised'.

Your rights when cancelling

The law where you live is the strongest hook, lead with it when you contact the company.

United States

FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule (2024+)
Cancel must be as easy as sign-up.
The Federal Trade Commission’s Click-to-Cancel rule requires Discord to make cancelling at least as simple as signing up, same channel, same number of clicks. If they buried the cancel button or forced a phone call, they’re in violation; report to reportfraud.ftc.gov.
California ARL (auto-renewal law)
Renewal must be cancellable online.
California Business & Professions Code §17602 forces any company billing California residents on auto-renewal to provide an online cancel mechanism. Lawsuits have been won on this; companies often refund quickly when it’s cited.

Worldwide

Card-issuer chargeback
Your bank can reverse the charge.
Visa, Mastercard, and Amex all run chargeback schemes, “goods/services not as described” or “subscription not cancelled” are valid reason codes everywhere they operate. Your bank handles the dispute; Discord has ~45 days to defend.

Rights in other regions (United Kingdom, European Union)

United Kingdom

Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013

You can terminate any continuous service contract within 14 days of starting it and recover any payment, no questions asked. Applies regardless of Discord’s own policy.
Consumer Rights Act 2015
Services must be as described.
If Discord’s service was misrepresented or didn’t deliver what was promised, you have a statutory right to remedy (repair, refund, or price reduction) regardless of their terms.

European Union

Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU
14-day right of withdrawal across all EU states.
EU-wide statutory right to withdraw from any distance-sold contract within 14 days. Mirrored into local law in every member state. Discord must honour it regardless of where they’re headquartered.

Delete your Discord account (not just cancel)

Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.

If there’s no delete option in Discord’s account settings, email support@discord.com with the subject Account deletion request, [your account email] and ask for your account and personal data to be erased under state privacy laws such as the CCPA. They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.

Common questions about cancelling Discord

Open Discord, click the **cogwheel** next to your username to open User Settings, go to **Subscriptions** under Payment Settings, click **Cancel** next to Nitro and follow the prompts. Your perks stay active until the end of the current billing period. If you bought Nitro on iPhone, cancel via **Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions**; on Android via the Google Play Store. Deleting the Discord app does not cancel billing.
