Keep it for less

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

  • Plan with ads Switch from discovery+ Ad-Free ($9.99 a month) to discovery+ with limited ads ($5.99 a month); a move to the lower-priced plan takes effect on your next billing date help.discoveryplus.com help.discoveryplus.com

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • If Cancel isn't shown on the Subscription page, an app store or TV provider bills you; the page shows who
  • Deleting the discovery+ app does not cancel the subscription

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

Delete your account (separate from cancelling)

Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated medium).
