How to cancel Databricks

Before you cancel

Export first

• Notebooks and folders in each workspace: Open a notebook, then File, Export, and select the file type from the dropdown; or right-click a folder in the workspace sidebar and select Download as (Source file (.py, .sql, .scala, .r), HTML, DBC archive, Jupyter (.ipynb) or R Markdown (.Rmd); folders as a DBC archive, Zip of source or Zip of HTML). Zip source exports leave out notebook command outputs. Export from every workspace before cancelling: workspace content is deleted within 30 days of cancellation docs.databricks.com docs.databricks.com

What happens to your data

Customer content in workspaces tied to the subscription is deleted within 30 days of cancellation. The account owner and account-management history are deleted. Deleting the account itself takes a request to your account team or a ticket at help.databricks.com.

What you lose

• Access to all workspaces, notebooks and data in the account
• Every workspace in the account (on Google Cloud, cancellation deletes them; not reversible)
• The account owner and account-management history
• Signing up again with the same email address: you need a new one

Cancel, by who bills you

Pick the route for whoever charges you: the name on your card statement or receipt tells you.

Questions people ask

Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

• Free plan Databricks Free Edition is a no-cost version for students, educators, hobbyists and anyone learning or experimenting with data and AI docs.databricks.com
• Discount program Committed-use discounts: commit to a level of usage for discounts and other benefits; larger commitments get greater benefits. To move from monthly card billing to invoice or commit billing, contact a Databricks representative databricks.com docs.databricks.com

For AI agents

• The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
• Cancelling is permanent: a cancelled plan can't be reactivated
• Cancelling the Databricks subscription in AWS Marketplace does not cancel Databricks: it only removes AWS Marketplace as a payment method
• Your cloud provider keeps billing for resources in your own AWS or Google Cloud account (such as compute instances) until you remove them
• On a trial: terminate all compute and remove your credit card, then cancel; otherwise the account becomes pay-as-you-go once the credits run out
• All usage up to the termination date is billed in full, so stop compute first
• Contract and commit customers cancel through their Databricks account team, not the console
• Azure Databricks is billed by Microsoft under your Azure subscription terms, not through the Databricks account console

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/databricks.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.
