What happens after you cancel

Linode (Akamai) bills for the services you run, so stop charges by deleting your Linodes and volumes, then optionally close the account. Back up any data first. You're billed for usage up to that point.

Subscribed through Apple, Google, or another provider?

Linode is billed on its website — there's no app-store subscription to manage.

Charged after cancelling Akamai Linode?

It happens more than it should. If a charge lands after you cancelled, here's how to get your money back from Akamai Linode — and why documented proof is what makes the difference.

Frequently asked questions

Will Akamai Linode charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, Akamai Linode keeps your access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then stops billing. If a charge still appears, see our guide on being charged after cancelling Akamai Linode.
Does cancelling Akamai Linode delete my account?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but usually keeps your account so you can return later. Deleting your account is a separate action in Akamai Linode's settings.
How do I know my Akamai Linode cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from Akamai Linode and check that your account shows the plan ending. Keeping that confirmation — an email or a screenshot — is your proof if there's ever a dispute.

Cancelling something? Keep the proof.

CancelProof records your cancellation automatically — so if you're charged anyway, you're covered.
