What Happens When You Downgrade

Last updated 22 hours ago

Downgrading a single product

When you cancel a Pro subscription:

  • Pro features remain active until the end of the billing period
  • After that, the product reverts to Free tier limits
  • Your data is not deleted — it's preserved but may exceed free limits

Feature impacts

  • Custom domains: Stop resolving (domain becomes inactive)
  • API keys: Return 403 errors (keys are preserved but non-functional)
  • Team members: Lose dashboard access if no Pro product remains
  • Custom CSS: No longer applied to public help center
  • "Powered by" footer: Reappears on public pages

Exceeding Free limits

If you have more services/posts/articles than the Free tier allows:

  • Existing content remains published and accessible
  • You cannot create new content until you're under the limit
  • Delete items or upgrade again to regain creation ability
