How to cancel Cursor subscription.

This is the documented route for a subscription bought at cursor.com. It hands off to Stripe for the final step.

1. Go to cursor.com/dashboard/billing.
2. Click Manage Subscription to open the Stripe billing portal.
3. Click Cancel Subscription and confirm.
4. Check the billing page afterwards to confirm the plan is scheduled to end rather than still renewing.

Cursor states that you keep access to your paid plan features until the end of the current billing period, that you will not be charged again after cancelling, that the account then reverts to the free Hobby plan, and that cancellation does not delete your account or any local project files.

This is the bill that survives a plan cancellation in the form of a final invoice, and the one that surprises people mid-cycle. It is invoiced separately from the subscription.

1. Go to cursor.com/dashboard and click Billing & Invoices, where Cursor states you see two sections: Included Usage, covered by your subscription, and On-Demand Usage, charged above it.
2. On an individual plan, turn on-demand usage off in your spending settings so requests stop once your included usage runs out.
3. On a Teams plan, an admin disables it or sets a spend limit in the team dashboard: Cursor states on-demand usage is enabled by default for teams.
4. If you set a spend limit rather than turning it off, leave the limit alone for the rest of the cycle.

Cursor states that enforcement is not instant, so usage can briefly exceed your spend limit, that it credits the limited overage as a temporary spend-limit credit which is not a refund or a permanent credit, and that if you raise the limit in the same cycle it may bill some or all of that credit. Leaving the limit unchanged, or turning off on-demand usage, keeps the credit.

Apple is the merchant of record for an in-app purchase, and Cursor states it cannot cancel one or refund it for you.

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap your name (your Apple Account) at the top of the screen.
3. Tap Subscriptions.
4. Select Cursor from the list of active subscriptions.
5. Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.

Cursor states that even with an app subscription, on-demand usage is billed separately to a payment card you add on the web, and that you set a monthly limit in a browser at cursor.com/dashboard under Spending. Cancelling in the App Store does not touch that card. It also states that you cannot switch from an in-app plan to a web plan while the in-app subscription is active: cancel it through Apple, wait for it to lapse, then sign up again on cursor.com.

Cursor offers this as the alternative on individual plans. It does not give money back for the current cycle, but it keeps the account on a smaller plan.

1. Go to cursor.com/dashboard/billing.
2. Find the tile with your current plan and click Adjust plan.
3. Select the plan you want.
4. Confirm in the modal and click Schedule Downgrade.

Cursor states you keep your current plan until the end of your billing period, that it does not issue prorated refunds when you downgrade an active subscription that already has usage during the current billing period, and that a downgrade alone does not qualify for a partial credit on the current cycle. It also states there is no way to switch from yearly to monthly mid-plan: the switch has to be scheduled for the end of the yearly period.
