Customers can cancel their subscriptions or reduce the number of users at renewal by responding to the renewal notification before the end of their subscription term. Salesforce must receive the customer’s request via email 30 days before the renewal date. Verbal requests will not be accepted.

Your users may have to cancel recurring or usage-based services in response to customer cancellation or as part of a collections process. You can use Salesforce CPQ to perform the cancellation, and then send the transaction to Salesforce Billing on an order through a cancel order product.
