How to cancel Discord Nitro

Are the premium perks worth paying for?
By
March 24, 2023

When you start subscribing to a service, it’s easy to take those premium features for granted. For example, after subscribing to Spotify, it can be hard to let go of uninterrupted, ad-free listening. When you cancel Discord Nitro, you will lose things like your profile banner, animated icons, and the ability to use all types of emojis. That said, the service is very much usable for free. So, what do you do when you want to cancel Discord Nitro?

THE SHORT ANSWER 

To cancel Discord Nitro, go to User Settings > Subscriptions. Under Discord Nitro, select Cancel > Continue > Confirm.
