# Unsubscribing from Amazon Q Developer Pro
<a name="q-admin-setup-unsubscribe"></a>

How you unsubscribe from the Pro tier depends on whether you're an end-user with a personal account (Builder ID) or an administrator of IAM Identity Center workforce users.

## Unsubscribing a personal account (Builder ID)
<a name="unsubscribe-builder-id"></a>

Read this section if you want to unsubscribe your personal account (Builder ID) from the Pro tier.

When you unsubscribe your Builder ID, your subscription is marked as **Canceled**, and you can no longer access Amazon Q Developer features. (You can still use the [Free tier](q-tiers.md) though, provided you have not exceeded your Free tier limits.) The final monthly subscription fee is charged at the end of the current billing cycle. You'll be charged for the full month; the fee won't be prorated.

**Warning**  
Deleting your Builder ID does not unsubscribe you. To stop being billed, you must actively unsubscribe yourself using the instructions in this section. Similarly, deleting your Amazon Q Developer Profile or Kiro Profile does not cancel your Builder ID subscription.

You can unsubscribe starting from one of the following interfaces:
+ IDE
+ command line
+ AWS Management Console

## Unsubscribing IAM Identity Center workforce users
<a name="unsubscribe-idc"></a>

If you are the administrator of an AWS standalone account, an AWS management account, or an AWS member account, use the following procedure to unsubscribe IAM Identity Center workforce users from your account.

For more information about AWS management and member accounts, see [Managing AWS accounts in an organization with AWS Organizations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_manage_accounts.html).

Notes about unsubscribing users:
+ If you are an administrator of either a management or member account within an organization managed by [AWS Organizations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_introduction.html), you can only unsubscribe users if your created their subscriptions.
+ If a user has been subscribed in both member and management accounts, both account administrators must unsubscribe the user from their respective accounts for the user to be fully unsubscribed.
+ If you are a management account administrator, you can view other accounts the user is subscribed in by choosing **View subscriptions from member accounts** on the **Settings** page of the Amazon Q Developer console. This allows you to coordinate with member account administrators for unsubscription. Alternatively, if you have the appropriate permissions, you can sign in as a member account administrator and unsubscribe the user directly. For more information about viewing member account subscriptions as a management account administrator, see [Viewing an aggregated list of Amazon Q Developer subscriptions](subscribe-visibility.md). 
+ After unsubscribing users or groups, their subscriptions are marked as **Canceled**, and they can no longer access Amazon Q Developer features. (They can still use the [Free tier](q-tiers.md) though, provided they have not exceeded their Free tier limits.) The final monthly subscription fee is charged at the end of the current billing cycle for all users who had active subscriptions. You'll be charged for the full month; the fee won't be prorated.

1. In the **Identity provider users and groups** section, choose the **Users** or **Groups** tab.
