Whether you’ve achieved your creative goals, are stepping back from your video projects, or simply managing your recurring expenses, the process for canceling your access to Veo 3 is tied directly to the Google subscription bundle that provides it.

The Key Takeaway: It’s a Google One Cancellation:

The most important detail to grasp is that Veo 3 is not a standalone subscription. Access to the Veo 3 model, particularly the high-quality and faster generation limits, is an inclusive benefit of the Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra tiers, which are part of the broader Google One membership ecosystem.

Therefore, canceling your Google Veo 3 subscription essentially means canceling or downgrading your Google One plan.

Step-by-Step Guide to Cancellation:

The cancellation process is straightforward, but the exact steps vary slightly depending on the device you used to subscribe. Remember to use the same Google Account that is linked to your active subscription.

Method 1: Via the Google One App (Recommended for Android)

This is often the quickest route for users who manage their services via an Android device.

1. Open the Google One App: Launch the Google One application on your Android phone or tablet.
2. Navigate to Settings: Tap the Menu icon (usually three horizontal lines or your profile picture) and select Settings or My Benefits/Membership.
3. Find the Cancellation Option: Look for the Cancel membership option.
4. Confirm Cancellation: Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm that you wish to cancel your Google AI Pro or Google AI Ultra plan.

Method 2: Via Google Subscriptions on a Web Browser:

For all users, especially those who subscribed on a desktop, this is the universal method:

1. Go to Google Subscriptions: Open a web browser and navigate directly to the Google Subscriptions management page (you may also search “Google subscriptions”).
2. Sign In: Ensure you are logged into the correct Google Account that holds the subscription.
3. Locate Your Plan: Scroll down to the “Subscriptions” section and find your Google AI Pro or Google AI Ultra plan (it will be listed as Google One with the corresponding AI tier).
4. Manage/Cancel: Click the Manage or Cancel button next to the plan.
5. Final Confirmation: Review the details, which will explain that you will retain your features until the end of the current billing cycle, and then confirm the cancellation.

Method 3: For iOS/App Store Subscriptions:

If you purchased the Google One plan through the Apple App Store on an iPhone or iPad, you must cancel it through Apple’s subscription management:

1. Open Settings: Go to the Settings app on your device.
2. Tap Your Name: Tap on your name/Apple ID at the top of the screen.
3. Select Subscriptions: Tap Subscriptions.
4. Find Google One: Locate your Google One subscription in the list.
5. Cancel: Tap Cancel Subscription and follow the prompts.

What Happens After You Cancel?

Canceling your subscription is immediate, but its effect on your access is delayed to ensure you get what you paid for:

• Continued Access: Your Google Veo 3 access and other Google AI Pro/Ultra benefits (like increased AI credits, Gemini Pro access, and Google One storage) will remain active until the end of your current paid billing cycle.
• No Auto-Renewal: The subscription will not automatically renew for the next period.
• AI Credit Loss: Once the paid period ends, you will lose the elevated monthly AI credits provided by the premium plans. You may revert to a free tier if one is available, with significantly reduced or no Veo 3 access.
• Storage Downgrade: Your Google One storage will revert to the default 15 GB for a standard Google Account. If you are over that limit, you will lose the ability to upload new files until you clear space or re-subscribe.

Pro Tip for Subscription Management:

Keep a record of your cancellation confirmation. Since Google storage plan purchases are generally non-refundable, canceling effectively stops the next charge, but does not provide a refund for the unused time of your current cycle.

By following these simple, platform-specific steps, you can successfully navigate the process and ensure you are not charged for a service you no longer wish to use. The key is remembering that the path to cancelling Google Veo 3 goes directly through your Google One membership management.
