How to Cancel or Delete Your Gitpod / Ona Account and Organization
Quick answer
Ona docs describe deleting a runner, billing access via the Stripe portal, and a permanent organization delete via API. A self-serve cancel button is not documented in the pages we read.
Most likely fix: Stop billing
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Stop billing
- Open Settings > Billing and use the Stripe portal to manage the subscription and download invoices
- Email billing@gitpod.io if the subscription does not appear
Did this fix it?2. Delete a self-hosted runner
- Settings > Runners, choose Delete from the runner menu
- Wait for Pending deletion to finish
- Delete the CloudFormation stack (AWS) or run terraform destroy (GCP)
- Check for leftover EC2/EBS or Compute Engine resources to avoid charges
Did this fix it?3. Delete an organization
- Organization delete is permanent and removes all data; it is exposed through the API with a bearer token
- Download or push anything you need first
