Can I still access my data after I cancel?

For Free/Trial accounts, deletion is immediate and permanent — all data is removed and cannot be recovered. For paid accounts, access continues until the end of the contracted term or billing period, after which data is deleted per Sumo Logic's data retention policy.

Will I get a refund if I cancel a paid plan early?

No. Sumo Logic's documentation explicitly states that any financial obligations outlined in your contract remain in effect even if your account is closed or canceled. Annual contract customers owe the full contracted amount regardless of early cancellation.

Can I reactivate my account after cancellation?

Free/Trial account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone — you would need to sign up for a new account. For paid plan cancellations, contact Sumo Logic Sales or Support to discuss reactivation options, as account history may be recoverable within a short window.

How long does it take to process a paid plan cancellation?

Sumo Logic Support typically responds within 1–2 business days after you submit a cancellation ticket. The actual cancellation date may align with your contract end date rather than the date of the request.

What happens to my data when the account is closed?

All ingested log data, dashboards, alerts, and user accounts are permanently deleted. There is no export-before-delete wizard — you must manually export any data or configurations you need to retain before initiating cancellation.

Can I downgrade to the free plan instead of canceling entirely?

Yes. Sumo Logic offers a free tier. You can request a downgrade to Free via the Support portal rather than a full cancellation. This preserves your account and data (within free-tier limits) without incurring further charges.

Log in to your Sumo Logic account

Go to app.sumologic.com and sign in with your credentials. You must be the Account Owner to cancel or delete the organization.

Check your plan type

Navigate to Administration > Account > Account Overview (in the left sidebar). Review the plan shown — Free/Trial accounts can self-cancel; paid plans (Essentials, Professional, Enterprise) require contacting Support.

Free/Trial only — scroll to deletion section

On the Account Overview page, scroll to the bottom and locate the section labeled 'Delete this Organization from Sumo Logic?'. Click the 'Delete Org' button.

Free/Trial only — confirm deletion

In the confirmation dialog 'Delete This Organization from Sumo Logic?', type DELETE (all caps) in the text field, then click the 'Delete Org' button to permanently remove all users, data, and the account.

Paid plan — open a Support ticket

Go to the Sumo Logic Support portal at support.sumologic.com and click 'Submit a Request' (or 'New Support Case'). Select your account, set the subject to 'Account Cancellation Request', and clearly state your intent to cancel your paid subscription.

Paid plan — work with the account team

A Sumo Logic representative will contact you to process the cancellation. You may also reach your named Account Executive directly if you have one. Be prepared to confirm your organization name and billing details.

Confirm cancellation and note financial obligations

Sumo Logic will confirm the cancellation in writing. Note: any financial obligations outlined in your contract remain in effect even after the account is closed — there are no mid-term refunds for annual contracts.
