# What Happens After I Cancel?

Will I be able to access my queries after the subscription ends?

## How does canceling work?

When you select **Cancel subscription** in the **Your subscription** settings section, your subscription and any add-ons will be scheduled to expire at the **end of your current billing period**.

This means:

-   The cancellation is not immediate - it is an expiration date schedule.
    
-   You can continue using Surfer until reaching the expiration date.
    
-   You won’t be charged again after the current billing cycle ends. Your account will expire automatically.

## What happens to my past work if I cancel?

When your plan expires, you no longer have access to Surfer’s core tools, and stored data, such as Content Editors, is deleted.

-   **Your data is not preserved**: All your previously created Content Editors, Audits, tracked Sites, and all other work are completely erased.
    
-   **Access to the main app is blocked**: You won’t be able to use any tools, such as Content Editor, Audit, or Keyword Research. Only **Billing**, **Settings**, and the **reactivation page** are accessible.
    
-   **You’ll see a summary of your work**, including projects and data you worked on, which will be erased.
