Will I lose access to my status page immediately after canceling?

Yes, cancellation takes effect immediately and content becomes inaccessible at that point. Make sure to export your data before canceling — Instatus allows data export at any time from the dashboard.

Can I get a refund after canceling?

Instatus has a Fair Refund Policy (instatus.com/policies/refunds). By default there is no automatic prorated refund for unused days, but you can email support@instatus.com for case-by-case refunds — especially for accidental charges or long periods of no usage.

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

Yes. Instatus offers a free Starter plan (15 monitors, 200 subscribers, public status page). Downgrading preserves your account and data while stopping charges for premium features — this is often a better option than full cancellation.

Can I reactivate my account after canceling?

You can reactivate by upgrading to a paid plan again. However, data is permanently deleted from active systems within 30 days and from backups within 60 days, so reactivation after that window will not recover your previous data.

Can I cancel via email or phone?

No. Instatus explicitly states in their Terms of Service that 'an email or phone request to cancel your account is not considered cancellation.' You must cancel through the dashboard self-serve cancellation link.

What happens to my data after I cancel?

Data becomes inaccessible immediately upon cancellation, is permanently deleted from active systems and logs within 30 days, and removed from backup systems within 60 days. After permanent deletion it cannot be recovered.
