Common issues
I cancelled but I'm still on the free plan immediately.
That's expected for some accounts. Plus access should continue until the billing period ends. If not, contact support.openai.com.
Will I lose my conversation history?
No. Your chats are saved regardless of plan. You just lose GPT-4 access, DALL-E, and other Plus features.
