Thanks for flagging this — and sorry for the confusing UI message.
What you’re seeing (“Your current usage exceeds the free plan limits”) applies to downgrading to the Free plan. It should not block a full account cancellation. Full cancellations (closing the paid subscription and deleting the account/resources) are handled by our support/billing team.
Here’s the fastest path to cancel entirely:
1) Email
help@prefect.io with:
- Subject: “Cancel Prefect Cloud account and delete all resources”
- Your account ID/URL: 82f3dcef-0e63-4359-a80f-d36b38e58379 (
billing page)
- Confirmation you want to cancel the Starter plan and delete all workspaces/resources
- Effective date (e.g., “effective immediately”)
- Confirmation you are the billing owner, or include the billing owner on the email
If you’d like, I can escalate this to our billing team on your behalf—just confirm you’re the billing owner and that you approve account-wide deletion.
Optional (if you want to remove data immediately while cancellation is processed):
- Delete workspaces in the UI: Settings > Workspace > Delete
Docs:
Delete a workspace
