Will my deployed services go offline immediately?

Services stop when you delete or suspend them. Free-tier web services will spin down after 15 minutes of inactivity and may take a few seconds to restart on the next request.

How do I back up my Render database before cancelling?

Use pg_dump or the Render dashboard to create a database backup before deleting. Once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.

Does Render have a free tier?

Yes, Render offers free static sites, free web services with limited hours, and a free PostgreSQL database for 90 days.

Log into Render

Go to dashboard.render.com and sign in to your account.

Open account settings

Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner and select 'Account Settings'.

Navigate to Billing

Click on 'Billing' in the settings sidebar to view your current plan and usage.

Cancel paid services

To stop charges, you need to delete or suspend individual paid services (web services, databases, etc.) from the dashboard. Then downgrade your plan to the free tier if applicable.

Confirm all services are stopped

Review your dashboard to ensure no paid services are running. Check the Billing page to confirm no upcoming charges.

Retention Tips

Cancelling Render paid services means your deployed web services, databases, and cron jobs will be taken offline. Free tier services have limited hours and will spin down with inactivity. Make sure to back up your databases before deleting them.
