<a name="generative-bi-opt-out"></a>

Quick accounts are charged if Generative BI is active in the account. Generative BI is considered active if your account uses any of the following capabilities:
+ Pro users
+ Topics
+ Dashboard and visual indexing
+ Dashboard Q&A

To avoid being charged for Generative BI by completely deactivating it, perform the following steps.

**Warning**  
Opting out of Generative BI will disable AI-powered features and stop related charges. This process involves:  
Removing or changing Pro user roles to standard roles
Deleting all topics in your account
Disabling dashboard indexing and Q&A features
**Before proceeding:** Review the steps carefully and ensure you understand which features will be disabled.
