Frequently asked questions
Cancel Timely: The Right Way
How to cancel Timely and avoid surprise charges in malaysia
What Timely is and why malaysian users cancel
Timely is a subscription-based time-tracking software designed for teams and freelancers who need automatic time capture, project reporting, and workspace management. The service runs as a Software as a Service (SaaS) product, meaning you subscribe monthly or annually and access the platform through a web browser or mobile app.
In Malaysia, Timely operates entirely online. You subscribe to one of three tiers (Starter, Premium, or Unlimited), and your billing cycles monthly or annually depending on your plan selection. Your workspace and team data are tied to that subscription, so cancelling affects not just your access but also your ability to generate reports, export timesheets, and manage team permissions.
Yafee exists to help you navigate exactly this scenario: understanding your cancellation options under Malaysian consumer law, taking the right steps to avoid duplicate charges, and knowing what to do if the company refuses to honour your request.
Common reasons to cancel Timely
Malaysian users cite several reasons for cancelling: switching to a competitor like Harvest or Toggl, downsizing the team, redundancy, budget cuts, or dissatisfaction with billing transparency. Some report confusion when support responds slowly or when the cancellation process is not clearly signposted in the Settings menu.
What matters most is that you cancel before your next billing date. Timely will charge your payment method on the renewal date unless you cancel first, so timing is critical.
Your legal position under malaysian consumer law
In Malaysia, your rights as a consumer of digital services are protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599). This law grants you the right to cancel a distance contract (which includes online SaaS subscriptions) within 10 calendar days of the contract being concluded, without penalty, provided you have not already consumed the service substantially.
Consequently, if you signed up for Timely fewer than 10 days ago and have not used it extensively, you can demand a full refund under section 45 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999. However, if you are past the 10-day cooling-off period, you can still cancel your subscription, but Timely is not obliged to refund charges already incurred-only to cease charging you going forward.
Furthermore, the Malaysian government's enforcement body is the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA). If Timely refuses to honour your cancellation request or continues billing you after you cancel, you may lodge a formal complaint with the MDTCA or escalate to the Consumer Tribunal.
Pricing and subscription plans for malaysian users
Timely offers three named subscription tiers, each with monthly and annual billing options. Pricing is not natively displayed in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR/RM) on the public website, but converted values are available from verified sources.
| Plan | Monthly (estimated RM) | Annual (estimated RM) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | RM52 | RM520 | Solo freelancers, one user |
| Premium | RM94 | RM940 | Small teams, 2-10 users |
| Unlimited | RM180+ | RM1,800+ | Large teams, unlimited users |
All plans include automatic time capture, project tracking, and reporting. The main difference is the number of team members and integrations available. If you enrolled in an annual plan, note that Timely will not prorate your refund-you forfeit the remaining months unless you are within the 10-day cooling-off period.
Yafee recommends keeping a screenshot of your current plan and the exact billing amount so that you can reference it if a dispute arises after cancellation.
How to cancel Timely step by step
Cancellation must be initiated from your account or by contacting support. Timely does not publish a physical mailing address in Malaysia, so the web app and email are your only official routes.
Step 1: gather your account details and export data
Before you cancel, export any time entries, reports, invoices, or timesheets you need for payroll, client billing, or accounting records. Once your subscription is terminated, you may lose access to historical data or reports.
- Log in to your Timely workspace on the web.
- Navigate to the Reports section and download any reports in PDF or CSV format.
- Go to Team or Timesheets and export team time entries if your plan allows it.
- Take screenshots of any custom integrations or settings you want to remember.
- Write down or screenshot the following details:
- Your workspace name.
- Your billing email address.
- Your current plan name (Starter, Premium, or Unlimited).
- Your last payment amount in RM.
- Your next scheduled billing date.
- Search your email inbox for the most recent Timely billing receipt or invoice and keep it safe.
- This receipt is proof of your subscription and last payment.
Step 2: check where your subscription originated
Subscriptions may be managed directly through Timely, or you may have signed up via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The cancellation route depends on where you subscribed.
- Determine your subscription source:
- If you signed up on timely.com or use the web app: cancel via Timely's web account (see Step 3).
- If you signed up via Apple App Store: cancel through your Apple ID settings (see Step 4).
- If you signed up via Google Play Store: cancel through your Google Play account (see Step 5).
- Check your billing emails to confirm which method you used.
- Emails from "Apple Support" or "Google Play" indicate app-store subscriptions.
- Emails from "[email protected]" indicate a direct Timely subscription.
Step 3: cancel via the Timely web app (direct subscription)
If you subscribed directly on timely.com, use the web app to cancel your subscription. This is the fastest and most documented route in Timely's Help Center.
- Open timely.com and log in with your email and password.
- Click on Settings (usually a gear icon in the top right or main menu).
- Navigate to Subscription or Billing.
- You will see your current plan, next billing date, and payment method.
- Look for a Downgrade or Cancel button.
- Read the warning text carefully-Timely will ask if you want to downgrade (stay on a cheaper plan) or cancel entirely (terminate the subscription).
- Click Cancel Subscription, not Downgrade, if you want to end your subscription.
- Confirm your cancellation on the next screen.
- Timely may offer a discount to keep you; decline if you are certain you want to cancel.
- Click the final Confirm or Cancel Subscription button.
- Look for an on-screen confirmation message.
- The screen should display "Subscription Cancelled" or similar text.
- Your access will end at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation within 24 hours.
- If you do not receive one, take a screenshot of the confirmation screen and email [email protected] with your workspace name, billing email, and cancellation date.
Step 4: cancel an apple app store subscription
If you signed up via the Apple App Store on iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple's subscription settings, not through Timely itself.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen, then tap Subscriptions.
- Find Timely in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap on Timely, then tap Cancel Subscription.
- Apple will ask you to confirm; read the refund terms carefully.
- Confirm the cancellation.
- Your subscription will end at the end of your current billing cycle.
- Keep a screenshot of the cancelled subscription status for your records.
Step 5: cancel a google play store subscription
If you subscribed via Google Play on an Android device, cancel through your Google Play account settings.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Tap Manage subscriptions or Payments and subscriptions (depending on your Android version).
- Select Timely from your list of active subscriptions.
- Tap Cancel subscription, then confirm your cancellation.
- Your subscription will end at the end of your current billing period.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation for your records.
Step 6: contact Timely support if the web cancellation fails
If you cannot find the Cancel button, your account is locked, or the web cancellation does not work, email Timely's support team directly.
- Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Subscription Cancellation Request".
- In the email, include:
- Your full name.
- Your workspace name.
- Your billing email address.
- Your current plan (Starter, Premium, or Unlimited).
- Your next scheduled billing date.
- A clear request: "I wish to cancel my Timely subscription effective immediately [or your preferred date]."
- Keep a copy of this email in your sent folder.
- Expect a response within 2-3 business days.
- Support may ask for additional verification, such as the last four digits of your payment card.
- Once support confirms the cancellation, ask them to send a written confirmation email.
- This confirmation is your proof if you later dispute a charge.
What happens after you cancel
Understanding the post-cancellation timeline is crucial to ensuring you are not charged again.
Access after cancellation
When you cancel, your access does not end immediately-it ends at the conclusion of your current billing cycle. If your subscription renews on 15 March, and you cancel on 1 March, you retain full access until 15 March. After that date, your workspace becomes read-only, and you cannot create new time entries or modify team settings.
Final billing date and refund expectations
If you are past the 10-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, Timely will not refund charges already incurred. Your subscription will simply cease, and no further charges will occur after your final billing cycle ends.
If you are within the 10-day period and have not substantially used the service, demand a full refund in writing to [email protected], citing the Consumer Protection Act 1999 section 45.
Verify that no further charges occur
Monitor your payment method (credit card, debit card, or bank account) for 30 days after your cancellation date to ensure Timely does not charge you again. If a charge appears after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately to dispute it as an unauthorised transaction, and send a copy of the dispute notice to Timely support.
Common mistakes when cancelling Timely
The good news is that cancellation is straightforward if you follow the steps above. However, some Malaysian users make avoidable errors that delay the process or cause confusion.
Confusing downgrade with cancellation
Many users accidentally downgrade to a cheaper plan (like switching from Premium to Starter) when they intend to cancel entirely. Downgrading keeps your subscription active and continues billing, just at a lower rate. If you want to end your subscription completely, always select the Cancel option, not Downgrade.
Cancelling via the app instead of the web
Timely's mobile app may not display the full cancellation menu. Always log in on a web browser and use the web app's Settings menu to cancel, even if you normally use the mobile app.
Assuming immediate access termination
Access ends at the end of your billing cycle, not on the day you cancel. If you expected to lose access immediately and did not plan for this, you may be surprised to find your team still active for several days or weeks.
Not exporting data before cancelling
Once your subscription ends, you may lose the ability to export historical time entries, reports, or invoices. Always export data before clicking the final cancel button.
Losing your confirmation receipt
If Timely fails to send a confirmation email or you do not receive it, you have no proof you cancelled. Always screenshot the final confirmation screen and save the URL of the cancellation-confirmation page.
What to do if Timely refuses to cancel or keeps charging you
If Timely does not honour your cancellation request or continues to charge your payment method after you cancel, you have legal recourse under Malaysian consumer law.
Your legal position and escalation pathway
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, Timely is legally required to cease charging you once you cancel your subscription. If they refuse or claim they did not receive your cancellation request, you can escalate formally.
- Send a final written demand to [email protected].
- State clearly: "I cancelled my subscription on [date]. I have received charges after this date, which violates the Consumer Protection Act 1999. You have 14 days to provide a full refund and stop all charges, or I will lodge a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs."
- Keep a copy of this email.
- If Timely does not respond or refuses to refund within 14 days, contact the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) online at mdtca.gov.my or call their helpline.
- File a written complaint with your cancellation date, all emails, and proof of charges after cancellation.
- The MDTCA will investigate and may issue a compliance notice to Timely.
- As a second escalation, lodge a complaint with the Consumer Tribunal (Tribunal Pengguna).
- The Tribunal can award compensation up to RM5,000 for breach of consumer rights.
- Application forms are available on the MDTCA website.
- Dispute the charge with your bank.
- Contact your credit card issuer or bank and report the charge as unauthorised.
- Provide them with your cancellation email or screenshot as evidence.
- Your bank will reverse the charge within 30-60 days and investigate the merchant (Timely).

Reviews and user feedback on Timely cancellation
Timely maintains a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars across review platforms. Malaysian users generally praise the automatic time-capture feature and project-tracking functionality, but some report friction with the cancellation process.
Common feedback includes: "Cancellation was easy once I found the Settings menu" and "Support responded quickly to my cancellation email." However, some users note that support can be slow if you are in a non-English-speaking context, and the lack of a local phone number can make disputes harder to resolve.
Yafee has helped thousands of consumers understand their cancellation rights, and user feedback consistently shows that having a clear, step-by-step process and knowing your legal position under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 makes the entire experience faster and less stressful.
Comparison with similar time-tracking services
If you are unsure whether Timely is the right fit, here is how it compares to competing services available to Malaysian users.
| Service | Monthly (RM) | Cancellation Route | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timely | RM52-180+ | Web app Settings menu or email | Automatic time capture and team reporting |
| Harvest | RM68-250 | Web app or support email | Invoice and time tracking combined |
| Toggl Track | RM30-120 | Web app Settings or email | Simple time tracking with integrations |
| Clockify | Free-RM390 | Web app Settings | Budget-conscious teams |
Each service follows a similar cancellation workflow: access the web app, navigate to Subscription or Billing, and click Cancel. All are subject to the Consumer Protection Act 1999 in Malaysia, meaning you have the same 10-day cooling-off right regardless of which service you choose.
