How to cancel Patreon

Before you cancel

• There's no fixed contract, so you can cancel anytime. Your access simply runs to the end of the period you've paid for.
• Expect to be offered a retention discount or loyalty deal to make you stay. If you're sure you want to cancel, stand your ground.
• There may be a notice period, so you can be billed for a short while after you ask to leave. Cancel as early as you can.
• If you subscribed through Apple, Google or another provider, you must cancel with them, not Patreon directly.
• Get a confirmation (on-screen or by email) and keep it as proof of the date you cancelled.

Notice, fees & cooling-off

Notice period

Depends on the creator's billing model: monthly 'per-creation'/non-upfront - access ends immediately on cancel; 'charge-upfront'/subscription or annual - access continues to end of paid period.

Early-exit charge

None. Money goes straight to creators, so refunds are not typical; you can request one within 60 days via Billing History but the creator/Patreon decides. Annual memberships are non-refundable except at discretion.
