The short answer
Resend's Terms of Service state paid Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by law. The Acceptable Use Policy also excludes refunds for AUP breaches and for partial-quota usage once emails have been sent. In practice, cancelling stops the next renewal but does not refund the current billing period. Refunds are only likely if you're covered by a statutory right (UK/EU consumer distance-selling rules for unused digital services, or a chargeback via your card issuer).

How long does a Resend 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.
Note Resend’s own policy works on a 0-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.
