Cancel plan button not working for cloud subscription

Trying to cancel my plan before the free period expires, only to find out that the cancel plan button does not work. Popups are not blocked but it seems the retention questionnaire is not opening up, hence making it impossible for me to cancel my plan.

A quick solution may be to remove any payment info that way it will not cost you

Hi @wouter_vokar. Please add a reply here on this forum topic to tell us which web browser you are using.

For example:

  • Chrome
  • Edge
  • Firefox
  • Safari

I ask for this information so that we can give you the appropriate instructions.

I am currently using Firefox

I'm going to ask you to provide some additional information that might help us to identify the problem.


:red_exclamation_mark: This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.


Please do this:

  1. Use your web browser to perform any actions that are needed to prepare for reproducing the problem you encountered before.
  2. Right-click (Control-click for macOS users) on the web page.
    A context menu will open.
  3. Select "Inspect" from the context menu.
    A developer tools panel will open in the browser.
  4. Select the "Console" tab from the top of the developer tools panel.
    The web console will open in the developer tools panel.
  5. Click the trash can icon ("Clear the Web Console output") icon at the top left corner of the web console panel.
    This is done to clear any irrelevant console content that was generated previously.
  6. Perform the action that produces the problem, just as you did before.
  7. Right-click (Control-click for macOS users) on the content in the web console.
    A context menu will open.
  8. Select "Copy all Messages" from the context menu.
    This will copy the selected text to the clipboard.
  9. Open a reply here on this forum topic by clicking the "Reply" button.
  10. Click the <CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar.
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
  11. Press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (Command+C for macOS users).
    This will paste the browser console content into the code block.
  12. Review the pasted browser console content to ensure it doesn't contain any personal/sensitive information that you don't wish to share. If it does, you can replace that content with a placeholder. It will be useful to add a note regarding any such redactions in case the original content was specifically relevant to the investigation.
  13. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
  14. Click the "Reply" button to publish the post.

Please let us know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions.

This does indeed support your hypothesis that the problem is with the retention questionnaire ("ProfitWell" is the service Arduino uses for this questionnaire), which is actually just a confirmation dialog in the case where you are using the free first month trial.

I have not been able to reproduce the problem myself. When I click that "CANCEL PLAN" link on the https://digital-store.arduino.cc/subscriptions/plans page, using a vanilla installation of Firefox, I get the expected dialog:

Please restart Firefox in "Troubleshoot Mode" and then try performing the cancelation again while it is in that mode:

This should allow you to successfully perform the cancelation if the problem is being caused by a browser extension you have installed.

Issue was resolved by disabling of my ad blocker.

Great news! Thanks for taking the time to post an update with your findings.
