Cancellation

Looker is not a self-serve monthly subscription you can cancel anytime. It is bought through Google sales as an annual commitment (1, 2, or 3-year term), and billing is tied to a billing account attached to the instance. The public pricing page has no cancel option and directs you to contact sales.
