How hard is it to cancel Fly.io?

Fly.io is a usage-based cloud platform with no traditional subscription plan to cancel; billing stops when resources (machines, volumes) are deleted. Account deletion is self-service via Account > Settings > Delete Account, requiring cleanup of apps, certificates, extensions, and organizations first. The Terms of Service state either party may terminate with written notice, effective at the end of the current subscription month; refunds are handled case-by-case via [email protected] (e.g., accidental resource creation or unexpected traffic/attack charges). No formal pause or freeze feature exists.

How to cancel Fly.io

• Channels: online (self-serve), email
• Official cancellation page: https://fly.io/docs/about/billing/
• Pause/freeze: not offered. No pause or freeze option is documented. Users must delete apps and resources to stop billing, or delete their account entirely.
• Account/data deletion: Account deletion is self-service via Account > Settings > Delete Account. Users must first delete all apps, remove certificates, delete extensions, and leave or transfer organizations. Once cleanup tasks are complete, clicking Delete permanently removes the account and all associated data/infrastructure. https://fly.io/docs/about/billing/

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
