Managing your Pinecone bill

Pinecone uses a pay-as-you-go model, so you only pay for the resources you consume.
 
To help you manage costs, we've created two resources:

• Managing Cost: https://docs.pinecone.io/docs/managing-cost
• Understanding Cost: https://docs.pinecone.io/docs/understanding-cost

These resources provide detailed information on optimizing and monitoring usage.
 
You can also visit our pricing page for an overview of our pricing tiers and to use our pricing calculator to estimate your monthly costs: https://www.pinecone.io/pricing/
 
Note: Pinecone Support cannot access customer data and cannot delete your account.
 
To downgrade your account, please follow these steps:

1. Remove all Projects/indexes. If you don't have any, you can skip this step.
2. Go to your Organization's billing page. (Settings ->Billing)
3. Change your plan to the "Starter" tier.
4. Confirm the change, and you're done!

All billing will stop immediately once you have downgraded to the Starter tier. You may receive a final bill for any indexes you just deleted.
