Learn how to upgrade or downgrade your plan type for your active Cloudflare domains.
Before getting started
Before changing your Cloudflare plan type, consider the following:
- If you decide to downgrade or remove a domain, Cloudflare does not issue refunds. Refer to our billing policy for more information.
- Upgrades are processed immediately, but downgrades are not processed until the end of the billing period. When downgrading, you are allowed to continue using the higher plans' products until the new billing period begins.
- If you downgrade your plan, you may have access to fewer Page Rules:
- To keep existing Page Rules, do nothing. You may be charged for additional rules according to your plan limit.
- To avoid additional charges, remove excess rules and edit your account subscription.
- Follow this Community tip for Page Rules best practices when downgrading Pro to Free.
If you want to cancel your Cloudflare plan, review our support guide on removing a domain from a Cloudflare account.
