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. 1. Stop billing

    1. Open Settings > Billing and use the Stripe portal to manage the subscription and download invoices
    2. Email billing@gitpod.io if the subscription does not appear
    Did this fix it?
  2. 2. Delete a self-hosted runner

    1. Settings > Runners, choose Delete from the runner menu
    2. Wait for Pending deletion to finish
    3. Delete the CloudFormation stack (AWS) or run terraform destroy (GCP)
    4. Check for leftover EC2/EBS or Compute Engine resources to avoid charges
    Did this fix it?
  3. 3. Delete an organization

    1. Organization delete is permanent and removes all data; it is exposed through the API with a bearer token
    2. Download or push anything you need first
    Did this fix it?
