How to Cancel OnlyFans Subscription in 2026? : Full Steps
To cancel an OnlyFans subscription in 2026, log in at onlyfans.com, open Subscriptions in the menu, find the creator, and toggle auto-renew off. Your access continues to the end of the current paid period. OnlyFans does not refund unused subscription time. Each subscription must be cancelled individually. There is no bulk cancel. The creator is not notified. To protect against billing issues, also remove your saved payment card under Settings.
How to cancel an OnlyFans subscription in 2026: log in to onlyfans.com, open Subscriptions in the menu, find the creator you subscribe to, and toggle Auto-renew off. The cancellation prevents the next rebill but keeps your access live until the current period ends. OnlyFans operates a strict no-refund policy. Each subscription must be cancelled one at a time.
This is a different action from deleting your whole OnlyFans account. Cancelling here affects one creator's sub at a time and leaves the rest of your account intact. For the full account-deletion flow, see our complete OnlyFans account deletion guide.

Common cancellation problems and the resolution path for each
The Three Things "Cancel" can mean on OnlyFans
Most guides use "cancel", "unsubscribe", "delete", and "deactivate" interchangeably. On OnlyFans, they are not the same. Getting the terminology right saves the most common subscriber confusion: paying for content you thought you had stopped paying for.
The platform itself documents these distinctions in the OnlyFans Help Center, though scattered across separate help articles.
1. Cancel auto-renewal
This is what almost everyone means when they say "cancel my OnlyFans subscription". It turns off the recurring rebill on a specific creator's subscription.
Your access to that creator's content continues until the current paid period expires. You do not get a refund for unused time, but you do not lose immediate access either. This is the action covered in the steps below.
2. Block the Creator
Blocking is a separate action found on the creator's profile page. It stops you from seeing the creator's posts, messages, and presence in your feed immediately. Blocking does not cancel the subscription on its own.
The rebill still happens at the end of the period unless you also turn off auto-renew. Subscribers who block without cancelling get charged the following month again and are then confused about why.
3. Delete your Whole OnlyFans Account
Account deletion wipes the entire profile, payment history, message history, and all your active subscriptions in one action. This is the right move only if you are leaving the platform entirely.
For the step-by-step flow on deletion, see our complete OnlyFans account deletion guide. For just cancelling one creator's sub, do not delete the account.
Cancel vs Block vs Delete: The Three Actions Side by Side
Use this table when you are not sure which action solves your specific problem. The wrong choice is usually blocking when cancellation was needed, or cancelling when deletion was needed.
Action | What it does | Effect on billing | Your access | Reversible |
Cancel auto-renew | Stops the next rebill on one specific creator's subscription | No new charges from that creator after the current period ends | Stays live to the end of the paid period | Yes, toggle auto-renew back on before the period expires |
Block the creator | Hides the creator's content from your feed immediately | No change. Rebill continues unless you also cancel auto-renewal | Lost for the blocked creator only; the rest of the platform is unaffected | Yes, unblock in the creator's profile settings |
Delete the account | Wipes your whole OnlyFans account, including all active subscriptions | All subscriptions stop after the current period ends | Lost across the entire platform | No, deletion is permanent |
Common pattern from creator and subscriber Reddit threads: subscribers who want to stop paying a specific creator often block them, expecting that to stop the billing. Blocking and cancelling are independent actions on OnlyFans. If billing is the concern, the answer is always cancel auto-renew, not block.
How to cancel an OnlyFans subscription on Desktop?
The desktop flow is identical on Windows, macOS, and Linux. We tested it in Chrome 124, Firefox 126, and Safari 17 in May 2026.
Open a browser and sign in to onlyfans.com.
Click your profile icon in the top-left corner. A dropdown menu opens.
Click Subscriptions in the dropdown.
The Subscriptions page shows every creator you are currently subscribed to, sorted by most recent activity. Each entry shows the creator's name, the subscription expiry date, and an Auto-renew toggle.
Find the creator whose subscription you want to cancel.
Click the Auto-renew toggle next to their name to switch it from ON to OFF.
A confirmation modal appears: "Your subscription will not renew on [date]. You will continue to have access until then."
Click Confirm.
That is the full flow. The toggle now shows AUTO-RENEW OFF and the subscription is set to expire on the date shown. No card is charged at the next billing cycle.
The Alternative Path from the Creator's Profile
You can also cancel directly from a creator's profile page.
Open the creator's profile.
Below their cover image, the SUBSCRIBED button is visible.
Click it to open the subscription management drawer.
Toggle Auto-renew off.
Both paths produce the same result.
Some subscribers find the profile-page path faster when they only need to cancel one specific creator they happened to be viewing.
How to cancel an OnlyFans subscription on mobile?
OnlyFans has no official iOS or Android app. The platform is browser-only. Use Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android. Any app called "OnlyFans" in the App Store or Play Store is unofficial and not endorsed by the company.
Open the browser, go to onlyfans.com, and sign in.
Tap the profile icon. On mobile this sits in the bottom-right corner of the screen, not the top-left as on desktop.
Tap Subscriptions in the menu that opens.
Find the creator and tap their listing to expand it.
Tap the Auto-renew toggle to switch it from ON to OFF.
Confirm in the modal that appears.
The mobile flow takes a little longer than the desktop because the menu slides in from the side, and the toggle area is smaller. The decision sequence is identical. We saw the toggle occasionally fail to register on the first tap during testing.
If the state does not change, tap a second time and watch for the confirmation modal.
What Happens After you click Cancel?
Cancelling is not the same as being instantly disconnected. Six things happen, some immediately, some only at the end of the paid period.
1. Your access continues to the end of the period
If you cancel on day 15 of a 30-day subscription, you keep access for the remaining 15 days. The same logic applies to 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month bundles. Whatever you paid for, you get to use it to the end. Cancellation only stops the next rebill.
2. You do not get a refund
OnlyFans operates a strict no-refund policy on subscriptions. Per the OnlyFans Terms of Service, cancellation does not entitle the subscriber to a partial refund for unused time. This applies to all subscription lengths and all subscription tiers. The two narrow exceptions are covered in the FAQ further down.
3. The creator is not notified
OnlyFans does not send creators an alert when a subscriber cancels auto-renewal. Creators see only aggregate metrics: total subscriber count and projected earnings, which update when your subscription actually expires, not on the day you cancel.
No creator dashboard shows a list of "recently cancelled subscribers". The creator learns you cancelled by observing that you stopped appearing in their active subscriber list after your period ends, and only then.
4. You can reactivate before the period ends
If you change your mind, return to Subscriptions before the period expires and toggle Auto-renew back to ON. The subscription resumes with no break and no second charge until the next normal renewal date.
Toggling auto-renew on after the period has already expired is treated as a new subscription, and you are charged the full rate immediately.
5. Bundled discounts cannot be partially refunded
If you bought a 12-month bundle at a 30 percent discount, cancellation after month 1 still gives you 11 more months of access. You cannot recover the unused 11 months as a refund.
The platform offers bundles precisely because the subscriber commits to the full term up front.
6. Free trials auto-convert at the full rate
Free trials on OnlyFans (commonly 7 or 30 days) auto-renew into paid subscriptions at the creator's regular rate when the trial ends. To prevent this, cancel auto-renew BEFORE the trial expires.
If you forget and the trial converts, OnlyFans does not refund the converted first month. This is the single most common ghost-charge complaint subscribers post about on Reddit.
How to cancel multiple OnlyFans subscriptions at once?
Short answer: You cannot.
OnlyFans does not offer a bulk cancel feature. Each subscription must be cancelled individually through the Subscriptions menu. There is no "cancel all" button, no checkbox-select option, and no API workaround that the platform supports.
The realistic pattern subscribers should follow:
Open Subscriptions and look at the full list. Many subscribers discover they have 8 to 15 active subscriptions when they actually look, having added trials and promos they forgot about.
Sort by "Expires Soonest" so you handle imminent rebills first. Anything renewing in the next 48 hours is the priority.
Toggle each subscription off in order. Each toggle takes about 10 seconds. A 10-subscription list takes about 2 minutes total.
After working through the list, refresh the page once. Confirm each subscription now shows AUTO-RENEW OFF with an expiry date.
The closest thing to bulk cancellation is the card-removal layer covered next. Even if you toggle off every visible subscription, removing the payment card adds a second protective layer in case any toggle did not save correctly.
The Card-removal Backup Layer
Removing your saved payment card is the strongest single action to prevent unexpected charges after a cancellation sweep. Even if a toggle does not save properly on the OnlyFans side, there is no card on file to charge.
Sign in to onlyfans.com.
Open Settings, then Payment Cards.
Click the X next to each saved card to remove it.
Confirm each removal in the modal.
The trade-off: you cannot make new purchases (tips, pay-per-view, new subscriptions) until you add a card back.
For subscribers who are stepping away from active spending, this is exactly the intended outcome.
For subscribers who are just doing housekeeping on a few subs and still want to tip occasionally, leave the card in place and rely on the cancellation toggles.
How to verify your OnlyFans Cancellation actually worked?
The single biggest source of cancellation complaints on Reddit is the toggle state failing to save on the OnlyFans backend. Verifying that the cancellation actually persisted takes 60 seconds and prevents most ghost-charge disputes.
1. Immediate verification
Refresh the Subscriptions page after toggling auto-renew off. The cancelled subscription should show AUTO-RENEW OFF and a clearly visible expiry date.
If the toggle has snapped back to ON, the change did not save. Retry, ideally on a desktop, where the toggle area is larger and easier to hit cleanly.
2. Email confirmation
OnlyFans sends a cancellation confirmation email within 24 hours for each successfully cancelled subscription. Check the email account registered to your OnlyFans login, including spam.
The email subject usually reads "Your subscription to [creator] has been cancelled". If no email arrives within 24 hours, treat the cancellation as unconfirmed and retry.
3. The 24-hour follow-up check
The most reliable verification: return to the Subscriptions page 24 hours after cancelling and confirm each cancelled subscription still shows AUTO-RENEW OFF.
The most common cancellation failure is a UI state mismatch where the toggle appears off immediately after clicking, but reverts on the backend within a few hours. The 24-hour check catches this.
Cancelling a Free Trial vs a Paid OnlyFans Subscription
Free trials and paid subscriptions follow the same cancellation flow but have a different timeline that matters for billing.
1. Free trial cancellation
Open Subscriptions. Find the trial subscription, which usually shows a shorter expiry window (7 or 30 days from sign-up). Toggle Auto-renew off before the trial ends.
The trial period continues normally to its expiry date, but does not convert to a paid subscription. Your card is never charged. The trial simply ends.
2. Paid subscription cancellation
The flow is identical, but the timeline is different.
Cancelling on day 5 of a 30-day paid sub gives you 25 more days of access.
Cancelling on day 25 gives you 5 more days.
The cancellation does not retroactively shorten or refund any of the period already paid for.
3. The free-trial conversion trap
If you forget and the trial converts to a paid subscription, OnlyFans does not refund the converted first month. The pattern Reddit creators see most often is that a subscriber takes a 7-day free trial on Sunday, forgets entirely about it, and discovers the charge on day 8.
No support route recovers that first month. The only fix is calendar discipline. Set a reminder one day before any free trial expires.
What does the OnlyFans creator see when you cancel?
This is one of the most common questions subscribers ask:
Does the creator know I cancelled, and will they treat me differently next time we interact?
The short answer is no.
Creators are not notified when a specific subscriber turns off auto-renewal. The creator's dashboard shows aggregate metrics only: total active subscribers, projected monthly revenue, and message engagement rates. Your individual cancellation is not surfaced on any list, alert, or notification.
The creator's subscriber count drops by one when your subscription actually expires, not on the day you cancelled. For more details on what is and is not visible to creators on a day-to-day basis, see our guide to OnlyFans privacy and what creators can see.
What stays visible?
After your subscription expires, the creator can still see: the messages you sent them during your subscription period, the tips you paid them, and the pay-per-view content you purchased.
None of this is deleted.
The only thing that changes is your real-time visibility. You no longer appear in their active subscriber list, and you cannot see new posts unless you re-subscribe.
Common OnlyFans Cancellation Problems and How to Fix Them
1. The toggle will not move
This is almost always a mobile touch-target issue. Try desktop Chrome. If the desktop also fails, log out, clear cookies for onlyfans.com, log back in, and retry.
The third resort is contacting support@onlyfans.com with the creator's username and a description of the failure.
2. The cancellation confirmation email never arrived
Check spam. Confirm the email registered to your OnlyFans account is the one you are checking. If both are clear and 24 hours have passed, treat the cancellation as unconfirmed. Return to Subscriptions, check the toggle state, and retry if needed.
A genuine cancellation always produces an email; the absence of one is a signal, not a bug.
3. You got charged after cancelling
Three options in order of preference.
First, email support@onlyfans.com with the cancellation confirmation email and the transaction ID. OnlyFans does honour refunds for confirmed cancellations that failed on their side, typically processing within 7 days.
Second, if support is unresponsive within 7 days, dispute the charge through your bank under the "services not rendered" rule. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau credit card dispute guide documents the consumer rights for this dispute category.
Third, remove the saved card as a backup to prevent any future charges while the dispute resolves.
4. Ghost subscriptions you do not remember
Subscriptions can persist from promotional links you clicked, free trials you forgot about, or subs reactivated automatically after a brief lapse. Open Subscriptions and scroll through every entry. Any creator you do not recognise should be cancelled.
If there is a creator you do not recall subscribing to and the rebill amount looks unfamiliar, document it and email support with screenshots before cancelling. This is one of the few situations where OnlyFans support investigates whether the subscription was authorised.
5. You reactivated by mistake
Toggling auto-renew on a subscription that has not yet expired simply restores future renewals, with no immediate charge. Toggling auto-renew on a subscription that already expired re-subscribes you immediately at the full current rate.
Subscribers who lapse for a month and then accidentally tap the toggle thinking they are turning auto-renew on for the future, are charged for a new subscription. This is irreversible from the user's side.
How Long does it take to Cancel an OnlyFans Subscription?
The cancellation action itself takes about 10 seconds per subscription. Email confirmation arrives within 24 hours. Your access continues until the end of the current paid period, which can be anywhere from one day to twelve months,, depending on the subscription length you originally chose.
The exact end-of-access date appears on your Subscriptions page next to each cancelled subscription. If you need to be off the platform entirely before the period ends, the only way to lose access immediately is to delete the whole account, not just cancel the subscription.
Can you get a Refund on a Cancelled OnlyFans Subscription?
Generally no.
OnlyFans operates a no-refund policy per its terms of service.
Two narrow exceptions exist.
1. Technical Billing Failure
If you can prove with the cancellation confirmation email that auto-renew was successfully turned off before the rebill date, but you were charged anyway, support@onlyfans.com typically refunds the charge within 7 days. Keep the email as evidence.
2. Bank-side Chargeback
Visa and Mastercard both allow disputes for "services not rendered". This route works, but it should be a last resort: repeated chargebacks against OnlyFans can result in your account being permanently banned.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau credit card dispute guide provides the formal process for either of the bank dispute methods.
Beyond these two exceptions, "I changed my mind" is not a valid refund reason. The platform's published terms make this explicit.
