Cancel Subscription via Adobe Account Settings
The standard and most direct method to stop payments is to cancel the plan through your online Adobe account management portal.
If you have access to the account that initiated the subscription, you can easily cancel it online. However, if a payment is currently pending or has failed, you might need to resolve that balance before the system allows self-cancellation.
Navigate to account.adobe.com/plans in your web browser and sign in using your Adobe ID and password.
Locate the active Creative Cloud subscription you wish to cancel and click on the 'Manage plan' button.
Select 'Cancel your plan' from the available options. Follow the on-screen prompts, select a reason for cancellation, and confirm your choice to stop future charges.

Contact Adobe Customer Care via Live Chat
If you cannot cancel online due to a pending failed payment or lost account details, contacting Adobe Customer Care is the best workaround.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I cancel my Adobe Creative Cloud subscription?
If you cancel within 14 days of your initial order, you are eligible for a full refund. If you cancel after 14 days, your payment is non-refundable, and you may be charged an early termination fee depending on your annual commitment plan.
Why can't I see the 'Cancel plan' option in my Adobe account?
The cancel option may be temporarily hidden if your payment is currently processing or has failed. You typically need to update your payment method to clear the pending charge, or contact Adobe Customer Care to manually override and cancel the plan.
How can I stop the failed payment SMS alerts from Adobe?
The SMS alerts are triggered by your bank declining Adobe's automatic charge attempts. To stop them permanently, you must either successfully cancel the subscription through Adobe, or contact your bank directly to block Adobe from making further charges to your card.
