You're paying $9.99/month or $99.99/year (Nitro), or $2.99/month / $29.99/year (Nitro Basic).
Open Discord and click the gear icon (bottom-left, next to your username).
In the sidebar, click Subscriptions (under Billing Settings).
Click your Nitro subscription.
Click Cancel Subscription.
Confirm. Nitro perks continue until the end of the billing period.
Open Discord and tap your avatar (bottom-right).
Tap Subscriptions.
Tap your Nitro plan > Cancel Subscription.
Confirm. If billed via Apple/Google Play, you'll be redirected to manage there.
Custom emojis you uploaded stay in your account but become Nitro-only to use — they're locked for non-Nitro users.
Animated avatars, profile banner, and custom tag (#numbers) revert to standard at billing period end.
Boost slots given to servers (for free with Nitro) are returned — those servers lose boost benefits.
Larger file upload limit (500MB) drops back to 25MB.
Discord retains your account, message history, server memberships, and uploaded emojis indefinitely. Custom emojis remain in your library, but using them requires Nitro again. Files larger than 25MB you uploaded with Nitro remain accessible — you just can't upload new large files.
The 2 boost slots that came with full Nitro are revoked from whatever servers you boosted. Those servers may lose their boost-tier perks (custom URL, more emoji slots, higher quality streaming) if you were the only booster.
No. Custom 4-digit tags are a Nitro-only feature. When your subscription ends, you're assigned a random 4-digit tag again. Discord's username system also distinguishes Nitro and non-Nitro users.
Yes. Animated avatars (GIFs) require active Nitro. When you cancel, your avatar becomes a static still frame of the first frame. You can re-upload a static image to replace it.
Nitro Basic ($2.99/mo) keeps the larger file uploads, custom emojis use, longer messages, and HD streaming — for one-third the price. If you primarily used Nitro for chat features (not boosts), Basic is the better budget option.
