How to cancel WorkOS

Teams with an active subscription can't be deleted in the dashboard: email WorkOS support to cancel. Formal non-renewal needs written notice referencing the Terms at least 30 days before the term ends. Without a subscription, an admin can delete the team in the Danger zone. Payments are non-refundable.

Keep it for less

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Retention step: Deleting a team asks you to select a reason for leaving, with an optional comment, before the final confirmation
  • A team with an active subscription can't be deleted from the dashboard; contact support first
  • Non-renewal notice must be written, reference the Terms and arrive at least 30 days before the term ends; ordinary support questions don't count as notice
  • Deleting a team is permanent, signs you out, and is a different step from cancelling its subscription
  • The Billing page's Next payment due card shows when the current billing period ends and the next invoice is issued

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