A long time ago I decided to try github lfs. It didn't seem to help much, so I did what I thought would cancel it, but apparently it did not work. I would like to know how to cancel a github lfs payment. I've tried clicking the edit button and going to downgrade, but it bust downgrades to the $5/mo thing. I've tried removing my payment info, but there is no option.

How do I make them stop charging me? Also, I don't care what data they drop, I've got it all backed up.

Below is an image of the billing screen. None of these links seemingly led anywhere.

Finally. Not sure if this is to late but for those experiencing a similar problem, to cancel subscription log in to GitHub, billing, Git LFS Data, edit: remove data packs and 0 from the dropdown menu, and downgrade data plan.

  • In my case, this can be done after deleting the repository where I used the git LFS storage. After making sure the storage usage is 0, I can use the dropdown menu to choose from 1 to 0, then a downgrade can be done. – MK Huda Aug 22 '23 at 10:23

What appears to have worked for me, and only because I'm using paypal, was to report the payment as a cancelled subscription, which then sets the authorization state of reoccurring payments to unauthorized. Unfortunately, I didn't find an easy way to unauthorize the payment without also reporting them.

As a true answer to this question, it appears there is no way to simply cancel a LFS subscription.

Before you can downgrade to a free subscription, make sure your account and repositories meets all the requirements of a free subscription. Especially:

  • the number of collaborators
  • public repositories with a custom domain
  • etc.

More info and instructions on the GitHub help pages.

  • Nothing about LFS in your link – Seph Reed Apr 22 '19 at 15:09
  • @SephReed could it be that the same reasoning applies to GitHub LFS?! My guess is that you do not meet all the free GitHub LFS requirements... – agtoever Apr 22 '19 at 15:13
  • The idea of not meeting requirements to not pay for a service aside, the steps involved with meeting these requirements is not listed anywhere I can find. – Seph Reed Apr 22 '19 at 16:33
