Can't really help you with that. You can at least down grade for the next year right? Or do you have a per month account?

Downgrading Plan in Forge
Hi,
I had signed up for Laravel Forge 2 months ago. Initially, I was on the lowest plan - Hobby and then upgraded since I wanted staging and production server to be different. Then later client decided to move production on AWS with their forge account and hence there was no need for me to have upgraded plan of forge.
Looks like there's no way we can downgrade the plan in forge. That's what their support staff says. Not sure if this is true. If it is, isn't it unethical?
Best Regards, Ashit

@bobbybouwmann It's a monthly plan but irrespective of that, one can not downgrade. If you wish to downgrade, you need to delete that account and create a new one with lower plan. Deleting an account means have to start new instance of the server in new account otherwise existing server wouldn't show up. It kills the whole purpose of using Forge in first place.

For now you can make a new account, go into the meta tab in each server on your old account and then transfer them to your new account.
But let's hope we get the ability to downgrade :)

Had exactly the same issue. Upgraded to run a 2nd server for testing an annoying, mysterious issue in my production environment as I experienced PHP7.2-FPM termination issues after booting on my existing droplet after a Linode 'plan upgrade'. As it didn't work and gave up (I suspect the issue should be elsewhere outside the droplet) I then wanted to downgrade to my original plan, which I couldn't...
Let's try to transfer the account...

Hey, I had that problem too, tried downgrading but found no way of doing so. Until I forgot to update my billing info and decided to let my forge subscription get "cancelled". When that happens it unlocks all the plans for you to choose from again. So I guess that is the only way to actually downgrade your account without having to go though the pain of creating a new account....
Hope this helps

- Create a new Forge account on the desired plan
- In the old Forge account, locate the server in question
- On the 'meta' for the for the server there is a 'transfer server' section
- Enter the email address of your new Forge account
