Log in to Gel Cloud
Go to cloud.geldata.com (EdgeDB has rebranded to Gel; edgedb.com redirects here). Sign in with your account credentials.
Back up your data
Before cancelling, export any data you need. Destroying an instance permanently deletes all data with no recovery option.
Destroy each paid instance
On the Instances tab, open each instance you want to remove and destroy it. Alternatively, use the CLI: run 'gel instance destroy <org-name>/<instance-name>' for each instance. Add '--force' if the instance is linked to a project.
Open the Billing tab
In the main navigation, click the 'Billing' tab (alongside Instances and Org Settings).
Downgrade to Free or remove payment method
In the Billing tab, change your account type to the Free tier, or remove your payment method to stop future charges. There is no dedicated 'Cancel Subscription' button — stopping all paid instances and downgrading ends billing.
Send written notice if on a contract plan
If you are on an annual or enterprise contract, send written cancellation notice at least 30 days before your renewal date to prevent auto-renewal (per Terms of Service Section 12.1). Email is acceptable per ToS Section 13.2.
