Will I lose API access immediately if I cancel AeroDataBox?

You shouldn't. API.Market's terms say canceled subscriptions remain active until the end of the current billing cycle unless otherwise specified, so your API key should keep working through the month you already paid for. In practice, developers on marketplace API plans have reported access being revoked at the moment of cancelling, if that happens to you, quote the billing-cycle clause back and ask for either restored access for the remaining days or a refund of the unused portion. Cancel a day or two before renewal rather than immediately after paying to reduce the risk.

Is there a cancellation fee for AeroDataBox?

No cancellation or exit fee is documented anywhere in AeroDataBox's pricing material or in API.Market's Terms of Service. The plans are plain monthly subscriptions described as cancel-anytime, from the free Basic tier up to Mega. What you can still be billed for after cancelling is metered usage already incurred, API units consumed and overage charges on plans that support them are settled at the end of the cycle. So the honest answer is: no penalty, but no forgiveness of usage you already made either. Stop your calls before cancelling to avoid a trailing overage line.

Can I get a refund from AeroDataBox?

Refunds are handled by the marketplace, not by AeroDataBox. API.Market's terms say usage-based API consumption fees are generally not refundable once the API has been used, but refunds may be considered case-by-case for technical issues or service outages that prevent use of what you bought. That exception is your route: send **hello@api.market** the invoice or transaction ID, the plan name (e.g. Pro 2, $15/month), the dates, and evidence of failed or erroring calls. AeroDataBox's contact page explicitly asks marketplace subscribers to take refund matters to the marketplace support team.

How do I cancel the AeroDataBox free trial before it charges me?

AeroDataBox lists a trial/free Basic plan on API.Market (advertised as 600 free API units) and a free plan of unrestricted duration on RapidAPI. A free tier itself doesn't charge, but if you upgraded to Pro or above the paid plan renews monthly from the date you subscribed. Open **https://api.market/account/subscriptions**, check the renewal date shown against the AeroDataBox subscription, and cancel at least a day before it. If you can't see a renewal date, email **hello@api.market** asking for the exact next billing date in writing.

Do I cancel AeroDataBox on API.Market or on RapidAPI?

Wherever your card was charged. AeroDataBox sells its public plans (Basic, Pro/Pro 2, Ultra/Ultra 2, Mega) exclusively through third-party marketplaces, mainly API.Market and RapidAPI, and each one bills separately. Check your bank statement descriptor first. For API.Market, cancel at **https://api.market/account/subscriptions**. For RapidAPI, cancel in your RapidAPI developer dashboard's subscriptions area. If you subscribed on both at different times, you must cancel both; cancelling one has no effect on the other, and AeroDataBox cannot cancel either on your behalf.

What if AeroDataBox or API.Market ignores my cancellation?

Escalate in writing and build a paper trail. Reply on the same email thread to **hello@api.market** with the subject 'Cancellation confirmation, AeroDataBox subscription', restate the cancellation date, attach the screenshot of the Subscriptions page, and set a deadline of 14 days for written confirmation and reversal of any renewal charge. If a further payment is taken after that, raise a chargeback with your card issuer as a cancelled-recurring-payment dispute, the marketplace's own terms confirming cancel-anytime and end-of-cycle termination are your evidence.

Why was I charged more than my AeroDataBox plan price?

Two things stack on marketplace subscriptions: the fixed monthly plan fee (for example $5 Pro, $15 Pro 2, $30 Ultra, $90 Ultra 2, $150 Mega) and metered consumption. Endpoints are priced in tiers, so one HTTP request can cost several API units, and on plans that allow overages any units past your monthly quota are billed on top. A single heavy endpoint loop can therefore blow past the headline price. Ask **hello@api.market** for a usage breakdown by endpoint for the billing period before disputing, then challenge only the calls you can show failed.

REFUND GUIDE

How to Get an AeroDataBox Refund After Renewal.

Here's what AeroDataBox actually owes you, what their policy quietly says, and how to escalate if they ignore the request.

The short answer

AeroDataBox does not bill you directly, the AeroDataBox API subscription (Basic/Pro/Pro 2/Ultra/Ultra 2/Mega) is sold and charged by the marketplace you signed up on, normally API.Market or RapidAPI. For the monthly plan fee, the marketplace's rule is that cancelling stops future renewals and your access continues to the end of the billing cycle already paid for; there is no stated pro-rata refund of the current month. For metered charges, API units and overage consumption, fees are generally not refundable once calls have actually been made, so a mid-month cancellation does not claw back spent quota. The one documented exception covers both charge types: refunds are considered case-by-case where a technical fault or service outage stopped you using what you bought, which is the angle to use for failed endpoints, downtime or a plan that never provisioned.

How long does a AeroDataBox refund take?

Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

Refund FAQ for AeroDataBox

You cancel on the marketplace that charges you, not on aerodatabox.com. On API.Market, sign in and open **https://api.market/account/subscriptions**, every API you subscribed to is listed there. Click the AeroDataBox subscription, and on the product page choose **Cancel Subscription**. Developers can do the same programmatically with the Subscription Management API (`DELETE /api/v1/subscription/{workspaceSlug}/{productSlug}`, workspace `aedbx`). The Terms of Service also allow cancelling by contacting customer support, so if the button fails, email **hello@api.market** with your account email and the plan name. Keep the confirmation screen or reply as proof.
