Downgrading your personal account's plan

If you downgrade your personal account from {% data variables.product.prodname_pro %} to {% data variables.product.prodname_free_user %}, the account will lose access to advanced code review tools on private repositories. {% data reusables.gated-features.more-info %}

{% data reusables.user-settings.access_settings %} {% data reusables.user-settings.billing_plans %}

1. Under "Current plan", use the Edit drop-down and click Downgrade to Free.
2. Read the information about the features your personal account will no longer have access to on your next billing date, then click I understand. Continue with downgrade.

If you published a {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} site in a private repository and added a custom domain, remove or update your DNS records before downgrading from {% data variables.product.prodname_pro %} to {% data variables.product.prodname_free_user %}, to avoid the risk of a domain takeover. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

Downgrading your organization's plan

{% data reusables.dotcom_billing.org-billing-perms %}

After an organization's plan is downgraded, the organization will lose access to any functionality that is not included in the new plan. If an advanced feature, such as {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %}, is not available for private repositories in your new plan, consider whether you'd like to retain access to the feature by making affected repositories public. For more information, see Setting repository visibility.

Downgrading from {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} disables any SAML settings. If you later purchase {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %}, you will need to reconfigure SAML.

Note

If your organization is owned by an enterprise account, billing cannot be managed at the organization level. To downgrade, you must remove the organization from the enterprise account first. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

{% data reusables.organizations.billing-settings %}

1. Under "Current plan", use the Edit drop-down and click the downgrade option you want. {% data reusables.dotcom_billing.confirm_cancel_org_plan %}

Downgrading an organization's plan with legacy per-repository pricing

{% data reusables.dotcom_billing.org-billing-perms %}

{% data reusables.dotcom_billing.switch-legacy-billing %} For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

{% data reusables.organizations.billing-settings %} 5. Under "Subscriptions", next to your current plan, select the Edit dropdown menu and click Edit plan.

1. Under "Billing/Plans", next to the plan you want to change, click Downgrade.
2. Enter the reason you're downgrading your account, then click Downgrade plan.

Downgrading your enterprise account's plan

Enterprise accounts are only available with {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %}, so it's not possible to downgrade an enterprise account to another plan.

If you want to stop paying for {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} altogether and your company pays via invoice, contact {% data variables.contact.contact_enterprise_sales %}.

If you have a self-serve enterprise account, an enterprise account owner can:

1. Remove or delete all organizations from the enterprise. Removing an organization from an enterprise automatically downgrades the organization to {% data variables.product.prodname_free_team %}. See AUTOTITLE.
2. Review and remove any remaining unaffiliated members from the enterprise. Depending on your policy settings, members who don't belong to any organizations may remain in your enterprise as unaffiliated members. To fully close the account, remove these unaffiliated members.
3. Delete the enterprise account to cancel the {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} subscription. See AUTOTITLE.
