  • Premium and Enterprise accounts can't cancel in the app; they go through their Customer Success Manager
  • Under the Terms, the subscription renews automatically unless written notice is given 30 days before renewal

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/customer_io.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.
