Step-by-step

On the web (fastest):

Go to discoveryplus.com and sign in.
Choose your profile (upper right) → Subscription.
Check who bills you at the top of the screen, then choose Cancel Your Subscription.
Confirm and watch for the confirmation email.

Billing-specific instructions:

If there's no cancel option on your account page, you're billed through a third party. Cancel there instead.

Billed through Apple (iTunes/App Store): iPhone/iPad → Settings → your name → Subscriptions → discovery+ → Cancel Subscription.
Billed through Google Play: Play Store → profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → discovery+ → Cancel subscription.
Billed through Amazon Prime Video Channels, Roku, or a TV provider: Cancel through that platform's subscription management.

Traps to expect

Deleting the app doesn't cancel. Your subscription auto-renews until you cancel it.
Cancel a day before renewal. discovery+ advises canceling the day before your billing date to avoid the next charge.
Free trials end immediately. Canceling during a trial cuts access right away, unlike paid plans.

Retention offers

The cancel flow may offer the cheaper tier instead of leaving:

Drop to With Ads: Going from $11.99/mo ad-free to $6.99/mo with ads keeps the whole library. Verdict: sensible if you'll keep watching reality TV anyway; otherwise cancel cleanly.
