RUNBOOK · upstash/cancel5 FIXES
// quick answer
Upstash bills by usage, so there's no 'cancel plan' button: delete the databases, QStash and Vector resources you pay for, then (optionally) delete the account under Account > Settings > Delete Account. If you signed up through Vercel, remove the Upstash integration in Vercel.
Most likely fix: Delete paid resources (stops billing)
How to fix it
