Why don't I see the option to cancel my subscription?

Two reasons. **(1)** You're already on the free Developer plan, the Subscription Overview will show 'Developer' and there's nothing to cancel; if you want it gone, delete the organization. **(2)** You don't have Owner or Billing permissions, only those roles can access the cancel page. Ask the org Owner to cancel, or have them grant you the Billing role temporarily.

How can I disable auto-renewal on Sentry?

You can't toggle auto-renewal off, Sentry's Help Center is explicit that disabling auto-renewal is not possible. The only way to stop the next renewal is to schedule a cancellation, which takes effect at the end of your current contract. For annual plans, do this well before your renewal date so the cancellation lands before billing.

What happens if I cancel my Sentry plan?

Your Team or Business plan continues until the end of the current billing cycle, monthly contracts run to the end of the month, annual contracts run to the renewal date. After that, the org is downgraded to the free Developer plan: one seat (Owner), 5K errors, 1 cron monitor, 30-day data retention, and email-only alerts. Existing data may be lost as quotas drop.

Does cancelling Sentry stop my running apps?

No, your application code keeps running normally. The Sentry SDK in your app keeps sending events, but once you exceed the free Developer quotas (5K errors/month, 5GB logs, 5M spans) the extra events are simply dropped. Nothing breaks in production; you just stop receiving monitoring data above the free thresholds.

How do I delete my Sentry organization?

Cancel any paid subscription first (or skip if you're on Developer). Then go to **Organization Settings → General Settings**, scroll to the bottom and choose 'Remove Organization'. Deletion is irreversible, all projects, issues, replays, traces, and members are permanently removed. Export dashboards or alert rules first if you might rebuild later.

Can I pause Sentry instead of cancelling?

Sentry has no formal pause button. The closest thing is downgrading to the free Developer plan (effectively a permanent pause that keeps your org, projects, and historical data within the smaller quotas). Alternatively, lower your reserved volume to the minimum and set a $0 pay-as-you-go cap so spend drops to the base plan fee until you're ready to scale back up.

Sentry support not responding, what now?

Forum users report Twitter and GitHub-issue routes go ignored. The reliable path is filing a ticket at `https://help.sentry.io/hc/en-us/requests/new` and CC'ing **support@sentry.io** with your org slug, plan tier, and invoice number in the subject. If you're chasing a refund, cite the specific Terms section you're invoking (e.g. Section on Agreement modifications) and attach screenshots of the cancellation confirmation.

Why am I still being charged after cancelling Sentry?

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 Sentry 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.

Q: Does Sentry charge a cancellation fee?

Sentry’s refund policy

Sentry's Terms of Service state fees are non-refundable, no credits for partial months, downgrades, or unused time on an open account. Cancelling mid-cycle keeps the paid plan active until the end of the current billing period, then drops the org to the free Developer plan. The one exception in the ToS is if Sentry materially changes the Agreement and you object: you can terminate and get a refund of pre-paid fees for the remaining term. UK and EU consumers buying as individuals may still have separate statutory rights.

“There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds, or refunds for months unused with an open account.”

Does Sentry charge a cancellation fee?

We found no cancellation fee in Sentry’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 Sentry

Cancelled Sentry 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 Sentry, treat it as not cancelled. Email support@sentry.io 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 Sentry’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 Sentry charges again.

How Sentry will try to keep you

Sentry 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: “Sentry locks the org to a single seat on the free Developer plan after cancellation, nudging teams to stay paid.”
You say: If you only need one seat going forward, that lock-down is fine, confirm cancellation anyway and re-invite later if needed. Export your historical issues/events before the downgrade takes effect.
They’ll say: “No auto-renewal toggle, you have to commit to a full cancellation to stop the next charge.”
You say: Schedule the cancellation now (it still runs to end of contract). You won't lose any of the time you already paid for, and you can re-subscribe in a click if you change your mind.
They’ll say: “Annual prepaid plans don't refund unused months on cancellation.”
You say: Switch to monthly billing at renewal if usage is uncertain. If you're cancelling an annual plan mid-term, request a goodwill credit via support@sentry.io citing Sentry's modification clause if any terms changed during your subscription.
They’ll say: “Downgrading risks loss of Service Data, features, or capacity per the Terms.”
You say: Export dashboards, alert rules, and recent issues via Sentry's API before the cycle ends. The 90-day retention on paid plans drops to 30 days on Developer.

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 Sentry 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; Sentry has ~45 days to defend.

Rights in other regions (United Kingdom, European Union)

United Kingdom

Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013

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. Sentry must honour it regardless of where they’re headquartered.

Delete your Sentry 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 Sentry’s account settings, email support@sentry.io 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.
