How to Cancel Cursor Subscription & Request Refunds
Walkthrough for canceling Cursor Pro auto-renewals, downgrade rules, and refund request guidelines.
Uninstalling Does Not Cancel Billing
Removing the Cursor application from your computer does not stop recurring charges. Cancellation must be completed through your web account.
1. Step-by-Step Cancellation Guide
Open the Billing Settings
Log in to cursor.com/settings and locate the Billing section (or visit cursor.com/dashboard/billing).
Launch Stripe Customer Portal Click Manage Subscription to open the
hosted Stripe billing session.
Cancel Plan Click Cancel Plan (or Cancel Subscription). Choose a
reason and confirm.
Confirm Cancellation Date
Verify that your dashboard status updates to: "Your plan will cancel on [Date]". All premium features and remaining fast queries remain active until that date.
2. Refund Eligibility & Rules
Cursor adheres to specific regional and usage-based refund criteria:
- EU / UK / Turkey Statutory 14-Day Right: Users in these regions are entitled to a full refund within 14 days of purchase.
- Standard Self-Serve Windows:
- Monthly Subscriptions: Eligible for an automated refund within 24 hours of purchase, provided there is zero usage.
- Annual Subscriptions: Eligible for an automated refund within 72 hours of purchase, provided there is zero usage.
- Accidental Renewals: If you missed the self-serve window but were unexpectedly charged without using any fast requests, email support at hi@cursor.com.
3. Submitting a Refund Request via Email
