How to Cancel Amazon Q Developer
Billing lives in the AWS console: open the Amazon Q Developer subscription settings (or Identity Center for org seats) and cancel the Pro subscription. Access runs to the end of the paid period. Steps, refund rules, gotchas and what to use instead.
On the web (aws.amazon.com)
- Sign in to the AWS console and open Amazon Q Developer settings.
- Go to Subscriptions / Plans.
- Choose Cancel subscription for the Pro tier.
What happens after you cancel
- Pro features run until the end of the paid period.
- The free tier keeps working with the monthly request cap.
- IDE completions drop to free limits; your code is untouched.
Refund policy
AWS does not refund partial periods for Amazon Q Developer; charges stop at the next cycle. EU and UK customers keep the 14-day withdrawal right.
The gotchas that trip people up
- ('Org seats need the admin. Developer seats under IAM Identity Center are cancelled by the admin, not the user.', 'Uninstalling the extension does nothing. Billing lives in the AWS account, not the IDE.')
Why people actually cancel
Three reasons come up over and over in the threads complaining about this:
- AWS console fatigue. Managing an AI sub inside cloud billing feels like overkill for autocomplete.
- They moved to an AI editor. Cursor, Windsurf and Zed bundle completions with agents.
- A flat tool covers it. One subscription elsewhere beats per-seat AWS billing.
If that is why you are leaving
If the reason is cost or juggling, the answer is not another single-tool subscription, it is consolidation. Krater Pro is $20 a month and includes agentic coding plus 500+ models inside Krater - Claude, GPT and DeepSeek among them - no AWS account needed. Browse the full model list. Teams get 5 seats on Max for $119 flat instead of per-seat billing.
The free tier keeps a monthly request allowance and IDE completions.
