“OVH: An Error has Occurred Cancelling the Service”: More About

When using the OVH client interface or API to cancel a service or subscription, an error message such as “OVH: An error has occurred cancelling the service” usually appears. Such mistakes can result from a variety of problems, and OVH is a global provider of cloud services. An explanation and troubleshooting guide may be found here:

Common Causes

1. The service cannot be cancelled because of unpaid bills or other billing issues.

2. There may be errors if we attempt to terminate a service before the minimum contract time expires.

3. This error may be the result of routine maintenance or transient problems with OVH’s system.

4. It’s possible that the account we use lacks the permission to end the service.

5. Prior to canceling, it may be necessary to take care of any dependencies on other services or setups.

Troubleshooting Steps

1. Make sure we don’t have unpaid invoices by looking at the billing section in the OVH portal.

2. Confirm that the service can be canceled now and check for any minimum contract periods or penalties.

3. Verify that no other services depend on the one we’re canceling.

4. If it’s a temporary issue, try canceling again later.
