How to Cancel Luma AI Subscription

Whether you’re done experimenting or just pausing until you need AI video again, canceling your Luma AI Dream Machine subscription takes under a minute. This guide covers the exact steps for web and iOS, explains what happens to your credits and generated content afterward, and flags the one timing issue that catches most people off guard.
Prerequisites
- An active Luma AI account with a paid subscription (Plus, Unlimited, or Enterprise)
- Access to dream-machine.lumalabs.ai in a browser, or the Dream Machine iOS app
- Any videos you want to keep — download them before canceling if you plan to delete your account afterward
Step 1: Go to Your Profile Settings
Open dream-machine.lumalabs.ai and click your profile picture icon in the bottom-left corner. This opens your account menu where subscription management lives. On iOS, tap your profile picture in the same bottom-left position after opening the Dream Machine app.
Step 2: Open the Subscription Tab
In the menu that opens, navigate to the Subscription tab. It sits just below your username. This is where Luma shows your current plan, billing cycle, and plan options.
On web: click View Plans to proceed to the plan selection screen.
On iOS: tap the lightning icon labeled Change Plan to see your options.
Step 3: Downgrade to the Free Plan
On the plan selection screen, select Change plan to Free. This is how Luma cancels your paid subscription — there is no separate “cancel” button; downgrading to Free is the cancellation action.
Important: According to Luma’s official help article, canceling your subscription will immediately remove access to your remaining credits. If you have unused credits you want to burn through first, use them before hitting confirm.
Step 4: Confirm the Change
Luma will prompt you to confirm the downgrade. Read the confirmation screen carefully — it will tell you exactly when your current plan ends and what you’ll lose. Once confirmed, your subscription is canceled and you’re on the Free tier going forward. You’ll still have access to your account and all previously generated videos.
Step 5: Download Any Content You Need
After canceling, your generated videos remain in your account — you don’t lose them just by downgrading. However, if you ever decide to delete your account entirely, that action is permanent and unrecoverable. Luma’s documentation explicitly states that account deletion removes all videos, prompts, credits, and plan details with no ability to restore them.
So: cancel the subscription now, download anything important, and only delete the account if you’re completely done with Luma.
Step 6 (Alternative): Cancel via Email
If you run into issues using the in-app flow, Luma’s terms allow cancellation by contacting their support team directly. Email support@lumalabs.ai or submit a ticket via the link at the top of their help site. This is also the route to take if you have an unused subscription and want to request a refund.
Note: Luma’s help article specifically mentions that refund eligibility depends on which Luma service you subscribed to, so check the terms for your specific plan before assuming a refund is available.
What Happens to Your Commercial Rights
This is the part most people don’t think to check. According to Luma’s official licensing documentation, commercial usage rights for content generated on Plus, Unlimited, or Enterprise plans are permanently vested in those assets — they don’t disappear when you cancel or downgrade.
Practically, that means:
- Videos you made on a paid plan can still be used in ads, client work, and social campaigns after you cancel — as long as you have the downloaded files
- New videos generated after downgrading will follow Free plan rules: personal use only, watermarked, no commercial license
- Content created on Free or Lite plans never gains commercial rights, even if you later upgrade and then cancel
Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Canceling without using remaining credits first | Credits are removed immediately on cancellation — spend them before confirming the downgrade |
| Deleting the account instead of just canceling | Account deletion is permanent and removes all videos; only cancel the subscription if you might return or want to keep your generations |
| Assuming commercial rights expire after canceling | Rights for paid-plan generations are permanently vested — you can keep using those videos commercially as long as you have the files |
| Forgetting to download videos before an account deletion | Once the account is deleted, Luma confirms the data cannot be recovered — always export everything first |
| Expecting a refund without checking plan-specific terms | Refund eligibility depends on your specific Luma plan; email support@lumalabs.ai to ask before assuming |
Quick FAQ
What happens to my credits when I cancel Luma AI?
According to Luma’s official help documentation, canceling your subscription immediately removes access to your remaining credits. There is no grace period. If you have credits left, use them before confirming the plan change to Free.
Can I still use my videos commercially after canceling?
Yes — for content you already generated on a Plus, Unlimited, or Enterprise plan. Luma’s licensing guide states that commercial usage rights are permanently vested in those assets regardless of future subscription changes. New generations after canceling follow Free plan rules and are personal use only.
Will I lose my generated videos if I cancel?
No, not from canceling alone. Your account and all past generations remain intact when you downgrade to Free. You only lose your videos if you also delete your account, which is a separate and permanent action. Luma confirms that deleted accounts cannot be recovered.
How do I get a refund from Luma AI?
Luma’s help article says to email support@lumalabs.ai or submit a ticket through their help portal at lumaai-help.freshdesk.com. Refund availability depends on which specific Luma plan you were subscribed to, so contact support to confirm eligibility before canceling if a refund matters to you.
