For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • On iPhone or iPad, cancel in a web browser, not the app
  • Cancelling the main plan cancels all add-ons too
  • Uninstalling the app does not cancel a Google Play subscription
  • Carrier- and ISP-billed members can't pause; if they cancel and re-sign up, billing moves to Google
  • YouTube TV support: chat, or call +1 833-389-2054

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