  You can downgrade your Docker subscription at any time before the renewal date. The unused portion isn't refundable, but you retain access to paid features until the next billing cycle.
  Downgrade considerations
  Consider the following before downgrading:
  Team size and repositories: You may need to reduce team members and convert private repositories to public or delete them based on your new subscription limits.
  SSO and SCIM: If downgrading from Docker Business and your organization uses single sign-on, remove your SSO connection and verified domains first. Organization members who were auto-provisioned through SCIM need to reset their passwords to sign in without SSO.
  Private repository collaborators: Personal subscriptions don't include collaborators for private repositories. When downgrading from Pro to Personal, all collaborators are removed and additional private repositories are locked.
