Cancel your account

Cancels an active account. Akamai attempts to charge the credit card on file for any remaining balance. An error occurs if this charge fails.

📘

Only account users with unrestricted access can run this operation.

Parent and child accounts In a parent and child account environment, the following apply:

• A child account user can't cancel a child account.

• You can't cancel a parent account if it has an active child account.

• You need to work with your Akamai account team to dissolve any parent-child account relationships before you can fully cancel a child or parent account.
