Frequently asked questions

Does canceling Claude Pro delete my conversations?

No. Conversation history is tied to your account, not your subscription. Everything stays after you cancel.

What is the usage limit on the Claude free tier?

Anthropic doesn't publish exact message counts. The free tier has a daily cap that resets regularly. Pro accounts get roughly 5x the usage before hitting limits.

Can I cancel Claude Pro from the mobile app?

Claude Pro is billed through Anthropic, not through Apple or Google. You need to cancel at claude.ai from a browser. Billing management isn't in the mobile app.

Is there a pause option for Claude Pro?

No. Anthropic doesn't offer a pause feature. You can cancel and re-subscribe at any time, and your history and Projects will still be there.

What is the difference between Claude Pro and Claude Team?

Pro is for one person at $20/mo. Team is for groups at $25/user/mo (minimum 5 seats), with centralized billing and admin controls. If you're on Team billing, the account admin handles cancellation.
