- What happens after you cancel
- Nothing is deleted, but bases over the free record limit become READ-ONLY, and a read-only base that something else depends on — a form still collecting, an automation still firing, an integration still writing — is a quiet breakage rather than a loud one. Export every base you care about as CSV first. Attachments are the part people forget. They are stored by Airtable and are not in a CSV export; if there are files in there you need, pull them down separately. Automations, sync and the higher API limits are paid features and stop. Billing is per seat on a workspace, so removing collaborators is a different action from cancelling, and a continuing charge after cancellation usually means a second workspace. An annual plan runs to the end of its term.

Find possible recurring subscriptions in your bank statement. Cancel OS reads a statement export you give it and flags the charges that look recurring, for you to confirm.
