What if I go over my prepaid amount?

Usage exceeding the volume tier you purchased triggers **A La Carte Fees** under the terms, Growth charges $0.28 per 1,000 events above 1M (volume discounts available). These are billed on top of the base plan and are a frequent source of bill shock. To prevent recurrence after cancelling, downgrade to Free *and* reduce tracked events in your SDK so no further A La Carte charges accrue during the wind-down period.

Why was I charged by MIXPANEL INC on my card?

'MIXPANEL INC. 4802460178 CA' or 'MIXPANEL INC. SAN FRANCISCO CA' on your statement is the Growth or Enterprise subscription, an auto-renewal, or an A La Carte overage charge for exceeding your event tier. Add-ons like Group Analytics, Data Pipelines or extra Session Replays can also appear. Log in as Billing Admin → Plan Details & Billing → Manage Billing & Payment to download the invoice, then email support@mixpanel.com if the charge looks wrong.

Does Mixpanel auto-renew my subscription?

Yes. Mixpanel runs on a subscription service in which your card is charged at the beginning of every month or every year, depending on the plan you purchased. Auto-renewal continues until you formally downgrade to Free or terminate the Enterprise Order Form. Annual customers should diary the renewal date at least 30 days in advance and submit the downgrade request before it triggers, because the terms do not grant refunds for mid-term cancellations outside of a warranty breach.

What if Mixpanel ignores my cancellation request?

First, resend to support@mixpanel.com with 'ESCALATION, downgrade not processed' in the subject and attach your original request plus the Downgrade Request Email Mixpanel auto-generated. If still unresolved, contact legal@mixpanel.com citing the Master Services Agreement and your Subscription Term end date. UK/EU customers can also rely on Consumer Rights Act / Consumer Rights Directive protections; US customers paying by credit card can invoke FTC click-to-cancel or file a chargeback citing 'services not as described' as a last resort.

The short answer

Mixpanel does not offer a general money-back window. Under the Master Services Agreement, the only contractual refund is a pro-rata refund of pre-paid fees if Mixpanel materially breaches its warranty and fails to fix it within a reasonable time after written notice. In practice, a downgrade stops future billing but does not refund the current term, you keep paid access until the term ends, then drop to Free. Outside that, refunds for accidental upgrades or overages are discretionary and require contacting support@mixpanel.com.

How long does a Mixpanel 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 Mixpanel

Mixpanel does **not** offer a general refund window. The Master Services Agreement only guarantees a pro-rata refund of pre-paid fees if Mixpanel materially breaches its warranty and fails to remedy it within a reasonable time of written notice. Refunds for accidental upgrades, sudden overage charges, or auto-renewals are discretionary, email support@mixpanel.com promptly (ideally within 14 days of the charge) citing the specific invoice, your downgrade timestamp, and any failed cancel attempts.
