Frequently asked questions
Cancel Rise: The Right Way to Stop Your Subscription
How to cancel Rise and stop the next billing charge
What Rise is and why you might want to cancel
Rise is a subscription-based sleep and wellness application that tracks your sleep patterns, calculates your sleep debt, and delivers personalised energy guidance throughout the day. The service operates on automatic renewal, which means once you subscribe, charges continue on a monthly or yearly cycle until you explicitly cancel. Understanding this distinction is critical: deleting the Rise app from your phone does not stop the billing.
Many Malaysia users subscribe to Rise expecting a one-time purchase or a trial period, only to discover weeks later that recurring charges have appeared on their bank statements. This happens because the subscription renews automatically using the payment method on file. Yafee has observed that the cancellation confusion often stems from a simple misunderstanding: the app and the subscription are two separate entities. You must cancel the subscription before deleting the app, otherwise charges continue.
What you are paying for inside Rise
Your Rise subscription grants ongoing access to sleep analytics, personalised sleep recommendations, and continuous progress tracking across multiple devices. The service is positioned as a tool to improve sleep quality and daily productivity. Once you cancel, you stop the renewal of that subscription, but access typically continues until the current billing period ends.
The paid value is in the continuous collection and analysis of your sleep data over time. Refunds for unused portions of your subscription are not guaranteed under the Rise terms of service. Consequently, timing your cancellation to align with your next billing date is important if you want to avoid paying for time you will not use.
Why Rise users in malaysia cancel
Common reasons for cancellation include cost considerations (monthly charges add up), the app not meeting personal expectations, or a user simply deciding sleep tracking is no longer a priority. Some users cancel after free trials to avoid unexpected charges. Others cancel because they discover alternative sleep apps that fit their needs or budget better. Yafee recommends reviewing your actual usage before you reach your billing date; if you have not opened Rise in the past two weeks, cancellation is likely the right move.
Your legal position under malaysian consumer law
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999) is the primary legislation governing consumer contracts in Malaysia, including digital subscriptions and automatic renewal arrangements. Under this framework, you have the right to cancel a subscription service provided the company has given you clear, transparent information about the renewal terms before you paid.
Furthermore, Yafee emphasises that Rise must provide you with a simple, transparent cancellation mechanism that mirrors the ease of signing up. The CPA 1999 prohibits unfair contract terms, including terms that make cancellation deliberately difficult or burdensome. If Rise makes cancellation significantly harder than subscription, this is a breach of consumer protection standards.
Your right to cancel and receive confirmation
You have the absolute right to cancel your Rise subscription at any time. The company must acknowledge your cancellation request and confirm the date on which your subscription will cease. Rise must send this confirmation to the email address on file within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 48 hours of your cancellation request.
Under the CPA 1999, the company is liable for any charges that occur after you have submitted a valid cancellation request. If you cancel and are subsequently charged, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider and to escalate a complaint to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA). Yafee advises keeping your cancellation confirmation email as proof of your cancellation date.
Your position if Rise refuses to cancel
If Rise does not honour your cancellation request or continues to charge you after you cancel, you are protected under the CPA 1999. You can lodge a formal complaint with the MDTCA Consumer Affairs Division, which has the authority to investigate and issue enforcement orders. The MDTCA can compel the company to cease unfair practices and may award compensation.
In addition, you can instruct your bank or payment provider to reverse the charges if Rise has billed you after a valid cancellation. Most payment providers offer chargeback protection for unauthorised recurring charges. Keep all documentation: your original cancellation confirmation, screenshots of your account, and bank statements showing the disputed charges. Yafee recommends filing a formal complaint with the MDTCA if the company does not respond to your cancellation within 14 days.
How to cancel Rise: step-by-step instructions
Cancellation method depends on where and how you set up your subscription. Rise offers multiple payment channels: direct billing through the Rise app, App Store billing (for iOS users), or Google Play billing (for Android users). You must cancel through the same channel you used to subscribe.
Step 1: identify your billing channel
Open the Rise app and navigate to your profile. Tap the "Subscription" or "Account" section. Look for the payment method displayed; this tells you whether you subscribed through Rise directly, the App Store, or Google Play. Alternatively, check your email inbox for Rise receipts or your bank statement for the merchant name.
- If the receipt says "Rise" or "Rise Science," you subscribed directly.
- If the receipt says "Apple," you subscribed through App Store.
- If the receipt says "Google," you subscribed through Google Play.
Step 2: cancel if you subscribed directly through Rise
- Open the Rise app on your phone.
- Tap the Profile icon (usually a head-and-shoulders symbol) in the top right corner.
- Select "Subscription" or "Manage Subscription."
- Tap "Cancel Subscription Renewal" or a similar option.
- Review the cancellation summary, which will show your final billing date.
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page.
- Check your email within 2 hours for a cancellation confirmation from [email protected].
Do not close the app or restart your phone until you have received the email confirmation. This ensures the cancellation has been processed on Rise's servers. Yafee advises waiting at least 24 hours before checking your account again to verify the cancellation status.
Step 3: cancel if you subscribed through apple app store
- On your iPhone, open the Settings app (grey gear icon).
- Tap your name at the top of the screen.
- Select "Subscriptions."
- Find "Rise" in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap "Rise" and then "Cancel Subscription."
- Follow the prompts to confirm cancellation.
- Take a screenshot showing "Subscription Cancelled" or the status "Expires on [date]."
Apple will send you a confirmation email to the address linked to your Apple ID. Your access to Rise continues until the current billing period ends on the date shown in Settings. You will not be charged again after that date.
Step 4: cancel if you subscribed through google play
- On your Android device, open Google Play Store (the "Play Store" app with a multicoloured triangle).
- Tap your profile picture in the top right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions."
- Tap "Subscriptions."
- Find and tap "Rise."
- Select "Cancel subscription."
- Confirm when prompted and review the final billing date.
- Screenshot the cancellation confirmation screen.
Google will send a confirmation email to your Google account email address. Your subscription access ends on the date shown in the Google Play Store after cancellation is processed, typically within 24 hours.
Step 5: document and verify your cancellation
Within 48 hours of cancellation, verify your account status by logging back into Rise. Check that your subscription section now shows "No active subscription" or "Cancelled" with an expiration date. Save screenshots of this confirmation page alongside your email confirmation from Rise or the App Store.
Furthermore, monitor your bank statement or payment provider account over the next 7 days to confirm no charge appears. If a charge does appear after you have cancelled, contact Yafee's resources or your payment provider immediately to initiate a dispute.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Cancellation is straightforward, but a handful of avoidable errors lead many users to discover they are still being charged weeks after they thought they had cancelled. The good news is that these mistakes are entirely preventable if you follow the specific steps outlined above.
Mistake 1: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
This is the single most common error. Deleting the Rise app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The subscription lives on Rise's servers independently of the app installation. When your next billing date arrives, Rise charges your payment method automatically, and you receive a receipt email-despite the app being long gone from your phone. Always cancel the subscription first using the in-app menu or your payment provider's account, then delete the app afterwards if you wish.
Mistake 2: cancelling through the wrong channel
If you subscribed through the App Store but attempt to cancel through Google Play, the cancellation will not work. The two payment systems do not communicate. You must cancel through the exact channel you used to subscribe. Check your original receipt carefully: if it came from "Apple," use Apple Settings. If it came from "Google," use Google Play Store. If it came from "Rise" or "Rise Science," use the in-app subscription menu. Mixing channels leaves your subscription active.
Mistake 3: not confirming the cancellation in writing
If you contact Rise support verbally or rely on a verbal promise that you will cancel "later," this is not enforceable. Always obtain written confirmation of your cancellation in the form of an email or a screenshot of the cancellation completion screen. If a dispute arises, this written proof is your defence under the CPA 1999.
Mistake 4: cancelling just before a billing date and assuming you will not be charged
If your billing date is tomorrow and you cancel today, the charge may already be in process or may have been authorised before your cancellation takes effect. Cancellation typically stops future renewals but does not reverse charges that have already been processed. If you are charged after cancelling close to your billing date, contact your bank to dispute the charge. Yafee recommends cancelling at least 3 days before your billing date to avoid this overlap.
What happens after you cancel Rise
Cancellation is not instant, and understanding the post-cancellation timeline prevents confusion and worry. Your access to Rise continues until the current billing period expires, even though you can no longer be charged after that point.
Access and data after cancellation
You retain full access to your Rise account, sleep data, and recommendations until the end of your current billing period. If your next billing date is 15 March 2026, you have access until 23:59 on 15 March 2026. After that time, the app will no longer function, and you cannot access your historical sleep data through Rise unless you resubscribe.
Rise states that your sleep data and account information may be retained on their servers for up to six months after the cancellation date for backup and compliance purposes. However, the company may delete your data earlier if you request permanent deletion, or if they face legal obligations to do so. If you want to preserve your sleep history, export or screenshot important reports before your access expires.
Refunds and partial period charges
Rise does not offer refunds for unused subscription time unless your country's consumer law specifically requires them. Malaysia's CPA 1999 does not mandate refunds for cancelled subscriptions once the service has been provided (even if you did not use it fully). Consequently, if you cancel on 20 March 2026 and your billing period runs until 30 March 2026, you will not receive a refund for those 10 days.
The only exception is if Rise has misrepresented the service, failed to deliver it, or you cancel during a grace period immediately after purchase. If you subscribed to Rise fewer than 7 days ago and are not satisfied, you may have grounds to request a refund by contacting [email protected] with the subject line "Refund Request - New Subscriber." Include your original invoice number and a clear explanation. Response times are typically 5 to 10 business days.
What happens if you try to use Rise after cancellation
Once your billing period ends, the Rise app will display a message indicating your subscription is no longer active. You will be unable to access your sleep data, view recommendations, or sync new sleep information. The app may still be installed on your phone, but it will be non-functional unless you resubscribe. You can delete the app at any time after your access expires.

How to contact Rise for cancellation support
If you encounter any difficulty cancelling through the in-app menu or your payment provider, or if you need a refund request reviewed, contact Rise directly. Yafee recommends using email rather than in-app messaging, because email creates a written record that protects you under the CPA 1999.
Contact details
Email: [email protected]
Subject line (recommended): Subscription Cancellation Request or Refund Request
Information to include in your email:
- Your full name and the email address linked to your Rise account.
- Your next billing date (as shown in your account or latest receipt).
- The payment method you used (App Store, Google Play, or direct billing).
- Clear statement: "I request cancellation of my Rise subscription effective immediately" or "I request a refund for my subscription purchased on [date]."
- Screenshot of your subscription status or receipt.
Rise typically responds within 24 to 48 business hours. If they do not respond within 5 business days, escalate your complaint to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) via their online complaint portal at www.mysdtc.gov.my. Include your original email to Rise and proof that you sent it (such as a read receipt or forwarded copy).
Escalation to malaysian consumer authority
If Rise refuses to cancel your subscription or continues to charge you after cancellation, you have the right to lodge a formal complaint with the MDTCA Consumer Affairs Division. The MDTCA investigates breaches of the CPA 1999 and can issue enforcement orders, including orders to cease unfair billing practices and to award compensation.
To file a complaint:
- Visit the MDTCA consumer complaints portal at www.mysdtc.gov.my or contact the nearest MDTCA field office.
- Provide your full name, contact details, and account information.
- Attach copies of your cancellation confirmation email, bank statements showing the disputed charges, and Rise's response (if any).
- Describe the issue clearly: e.g., "I cancelled my Rise subscription on [date], but was charged again on [date]."
- Await MDTCA acknowledgement and investigation, typically completed within 30 to 60 days.
The MDTCA has statutory power to compel refunds and to penalise companies that breach the CPA 1999. Furthermore, you can simultaneously dispute the charge with your bank using the chargeback process, which typically takes 10 to 15 business days and offers faster recovery of funds than MDTCA investigation alone.
Summary and next steps
Cancelling Rise is straightforward once you understand that the subscription and the app are separate. You must cancel the subscription through the same channel you used to subscribe-whether that is in-app, via Apple Settings, or via Google Play Store-and you must obtain written confirmation that the cancellation has been processed.
Your legal position is strong: the CPA 1999 guarantees your right to cancel at any time, and Rise must provide a simple cancellation mechanism. If the company fails to cancel your subscription or charges you after cancellation, the MDTCA can investigate and enforce remedies on your behalf.
Document everything. Take screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, save your cancellation email, and monitor your bank account for 7 days after cancellation to ensure no further charges appear. If a charge does appear after cancellation, contact your bank immediately to dispute it and lodge a complaint with the MDTCA if necessary.
