Downgrading the billing plan for a GitHub Marketplace app

If you'd like to use a different billing plan, you can downgrade your GitHub Marketplace app at any time.

When you downgrade an app, your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. The downgrade takes effect on your next billing date. For more information, see "About billing for GitHub Marketplace."

Canceling an app or downgrading an app to free does not affect your other paid subscriptions on GitHub. If you want to cease all of your paid subscriptions on GitHub, you must downgrade each paid subscription separately.
