The unused portion of the subscription isn't refundable or creditable. When you downgrade your subscription, access to paid features is available until the next billing cycle. The downgrade takes effect on the next billing cycle. > [!IMPORTANT] > > If you downgrade your personal account from a Pro subscription to a Personal subscription, note that [Personal subscriptions](details.md#docker-personal) don't include collaborators for private repositories. Only one private repository is included with a Personal subscription. When you downgrade, all collaborators will be removed and additional private repositories are locked.
