Written by
Updated at June 30, 2026
Warning
Canceling the rent cancels only further automatic renewal. It is not possible to terminate the rent during the current paid period: the server will operate until the end of this period and then will be deleted.
Management console
API
- In the management console, select the folder containing your server.
- Navigate to BareMetal.
- Find the server you need in the list, click in its row, then select Disable autorenewal.
- In the window that opens, click Disable.
To cancel a server lease, use the StopProlongation REST API method for the Server resource or the ServerService/StopProlongation gRPC API call.
Run this command:
curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <IAM_token>" \
-d '{}' \
"https://baremetal.api.cloud.yandex.net/baremetal/v1alpha/servers/<server_ID>:stopProlongation"
Where:
<IAM_token>: IAM token used for authentication.<server_ID>: ID of the server you want to update. To find out the ID, follow this guide.
