Cancel Rythm: The Right Way to Stop Your Subscription

How to cancel Rythm and protect your subscription rights in singapore

Why you might want to cancel Rythm

Rythm is a Discord music bot that streams songs directly into your server, offering premium features like high-quality audio, crossfade effects and unlimited autoplay. If you've signed up for Rythm Premium but no longer use it, or you're cutting back on subscriptions, you have every right to cancel and stop recurring charges. This guide walks you through your cancellation options, what happens after you cancel, and your legal protections under Singapore consumer law. Tocancel exists to help you understand these rights and take confident action.

How Rythm premium works

Rythm Premium is a subscription service that costs roughly S$7.00 to S$7.50 per month in Singapore (converted from USD $4.99 plus 8% GST and platform fees). You access it through Discord, but your payment processes through whichever platform you used to sign up-Discord's native store, Apple App Store, Google Play, Stripe, or another payment gateway. This multi-platform setup means your cancellation method depends on where you subscribed, not where you use the bot.

Why cancelling promptly matters

Every month you remain subscribed, Rythm charges your payment method automatically at your renewal date. If you stop using premium features, you're paying for something you don't value-money that could go elsewhere. Cancelling before your next billing cycle stops the charge immediately, so the sooner you act, the sooner your wallet benefits. Tocancel recommends cancelling at least 3 to 5 days before your renewal date to ensure the request processes in time.

Rythm premium pricing and what you're paying for

Understanding what you're actually being charged helps you decide whether to keep or cancel your subscription.

Current plan and cost breakdown in singapore

Why your actual cost is higher than advertised

Rythm prices its subscription in USD (US$4.99 per month), so when you pay in Singapore, your bank or payment platform converts this to SGD. You then pay Goods and Services Tax (GST) at 8% on top of the converted amount. Platform fees from Discord, Apple, Google Play, or your payment provider add further costs. The result is an effective monthly charge of around S$7.00 to S$7.50. Always check your latest invoice or subscription management page to see exactly what you're being charged each cycle.

Your consumer rights and cancellation protections

Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you when you enter into a subscription contract with Rythm.

What the law says about subscription cancellation

Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you have the right to clear information about what you're subscribing to, how much it costs, and when you'll be charged. If Rythm fails to provide transparent cancellation terms, or if the company makes it difficult for you to cancel, you have legal recourse. Your legal position is simple: you should be able to cancel as easily as you signed up, and any charges after cancellation are unauthorised.

Your right to a refund

If you cancel Rythm Premium before your renewal date, you should not be charged again. However, Rythm generally does not offer refunds for the current billing period once you've paid-this is standard in the streaming industry. Your cancellation takes effect at the end of your paid period, not immediately. If you're charged after cancelling, or if you're charged multiple times by mistake, contact Rythm's support team and request a reversal. If Rythm refuses, you can escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or file a complaint with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS).

Enforcement if Rythm breaches these rights

If Rythm continues to charge you after you cancel, or refuses to provide a refund for erroneous charges, you can lodge a complaint with the CCCS. The CCCS enforces consumer protection law in Singapore and can investigate unfair practices. Tocancel recommends keeping all your subscription confirmations, cancellation requests and billing statements as evidence. Document everything in writing, including the dates you cancelled and any support responses from Rythm.

How to cancel Rythm across different subscription platforms

Your cancellation method depends entirely on where you originally signed up-find the platform that matches your subscription source and follow those steps.

Cancel through the Rythm website (rythm.fm)

If you signed up directly on Rythm's website or through a direct link, use this method to manage your subscription.

1. Visit rythm.fm in your web browser and sign in with your Discord account or email credentials.
   • If you're already logged into Discord in another tab, you may authenticate automatically.
   • If prompted to authorise Rythm's access to your Discord profile, click "Authorise."
2. Navigate to your account dashboard or subscription settings.
   • Look for a menu option labelled "Subscriptions," "Billing," "Account," or "Manage Premium."
   • This is usually found in the top-right corner of the page or in a dropdown under your profile name.
3. Locate your active Rythm Premium subscription in the list.
   • You'll see your current plan, next renewal date and payment method on file.
4. Click "Cancel subscription," "Cancel premium," or a similar button next to your active plan.
   • A confirmation window will appear-read it carefully to confirm your cancellation date.
5. Confirm the cancellation by clicking the confirmation button.
   • You should receive an email receipt confirming that your premium subscription has been cancelled.
6. Save this confirmation email as proof of cancellation.
   • If you're charged after this date, forward the email to Rythm support as evidence.

Cancel through discord's subscription store

If you subscribed to Rythm Premium via Discord's native store (the easiest path for most users), cancel directly through your Discord account.

1. Open Discord on your desktop or mobile device and log in to your account.
   • Ensure you're using the account you used to purchase Rythm Premium.
2. Click the user settings icon (gear icon) in the bottom-left corner (desktop) or tap your profile name (mobile).
   • Select "User Settings" from the dropdown menu.
3. In the left sidebar, find and click "Subscriptions."
   • This section shows all active subscriptions tied to your Discord account.
4. Locate the Rythm Premium subscription in the list.
   • You'll see your renewal date, billing amount and a "Cancel" button.
5. Click the "Cancel" or "Cancel subscription" button.
   • Discord will prompt you to confirm your cancellation and may ask for feedback on why you're cancelling.
6. Confirm the cancellation by clicking the final confirmation button.
   • You'll receive an email confirmation from Discord showing your subscription has ended.

Cancel through apple app store (iOS)

If you subscribed via an iPhone or iPad, your subscription is managed through Apple's billing system, not Rythm's directly.

1. Open the App Store app on your iOS device.
   • Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
2. Tap "Subscriptions" in the menu that appears.
   • This shows all active subscriptions on your Apple ID account.
3. Find and tap "Rythm Premium" in the list.
   • You'll see your renewal date and billing details.
4. Tap "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel free trial" (if applicable).
   • Apple will show your cancellation date-usually at the end of your current billing period.
5. Confirm the cancellation and save a screenshot as proof.
   • Apple will send a confirmation email to your account email address.

Cancel through google play (Android)

If you subscribed on an Android device, manage your subscription through Google Play's system.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
   • Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner.
2. Tap "Payments and subscriptions," then "Subscriptions."
   • This displays all subscriptions linked to your Google account.
3. Tap "Rythm Premium" to open your subscription details.
   • You'll see your renewal date and the option to manage your subscription.
4. Tap "Cancel subscription."
   • Google Play will confirm your cancellation date.
5. Follow any additional prompts and save a screenshot of the confirmation.
   • You'll receive an email confirmation from Google Play.

What happens immediately after you cancel

Knowing what to expect after cancellation removes confusion and helps you verify the process worked.

Your access and billing after cancellation

When you cancel Rythm Premium, you immediately lose access to premium features-high-quality audio, crossfade effects, unlimited autoplay and extended queue length. However, Rythm usually allows you to keep using the free tier of the bot until your current paid period ends. You will not be charged again after your renewal date passes. If you see a charge after your paid period ends, contact Rythm support immediately with your cancellation confirmation email as proof. Tocancel strongly recommends checking your bank statement or payment app a few days after your expected renewal date to confirm no charge occurred.

How long cancellation takes to process

Cancellation is usually immediate, but it can take 3 to 5 business days for your payment platform (Discord, Apple, Google Play) to process the cancellation fully and stop charging. Some platforms take longer depending on your bank's processing speed. If you're charged after your cancellation date, wait at least 7 business days before assuming it's an error-delays are common. If a charge appears after 10 business days, contact Rythm support and your payment platform simultaneously.

What to do if you're charged after cancelling

Cancellation doesn't always stick the first time, and mistakes happen-stay calm and follow these steps to recover your money.

Common reasons you might still be charged

You may see a charge after cancelling if your cancellation didn't process fully, your payment platform experienced a delay, or Rythm's system took longer than expected to sync with your subscription status. In rare cases, a technical glitch on Rythm's or your payment provider's side causes duplicate charges or failed cancellations. Sometimes a family member, friend, or shared account holder reactivates the subscription without your knowledge. Check your cancellation confirmation email and your subscription status on all platforms to understand what went wrong.

Step-by-step refund recovery

1. Check your payment method's transaction history to identify the charge.
   • Note the exact date, amount and transaction ID.
2. Log into your Rythm account, Discord, Apple ID, or Google Play account to verify your subscription status.
   • Confirm whether the subscription shows as "active," "cancelled" or "pending cancellation."
3. Gather all proof: your cancellation confirmation email, screenshots of your subscription status, and the transaction receipt.
   • Save these in a folder or email them to yourself for safekeeping.
4. Contact Rythm support directly via their website or Discord server.
   • Explain that you cancelled on a specific date (cite the date from your confirmation email) but were still charged.
   • Attach your proof and request a full refund.
5. If Rythm does not respond within 14 days, or refuses to refund you, contact your payment platform's dispute or refund team.
   • For Discord disputes, contact Discord Support directly.
   • For Apple, use the "Report a Problem" link in your App Store purchase history.
   • For Google Play, go to "Purchase settings" and file a dispute through your Google Account.
6. If your payment platform refuses the dispute, escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) with all your documentation.
   • CASE can mediate between you and Rythm to recover unauthorised charges.

How to avoid losing your refund claim

Act quickly-most payment platforms allow disputes within 90 days of the charge. The longer you wait, the weaker your case becomes. Always communicate in writing (email, support tickets) rather than verbally, so you have a record. Never delete your cancellation confirmation email or transaction receipts until the dispute is fully resolved. Tocancel recommends taking screenshots of your account status on the day you cancel, as services sometimes delete cancellation records after a few months.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

Cancelling a subscription feels straightforward, but small oversights can leave you subscribed longer than intended-here's how to sidestep the pitfalls.

Mistake 1: cancelling on the wrong platform

If you subscribed via Discord but attempt to cancel via the Rythm website, your cancellation may not register. Your payment platform (where your card is actually charged) is the only place that matters. Always cancel on the exact platform you used to sign up. If you're unsure, check your original purchase confirmation email-it will state which platform processed your payment. Tocancel recommends cancelling on all platforms where Rythm appears in your subscription list, just to be safe.

Mistake 2: assuming cancellation happens immediately

Many users cancel and assume they're done, then ignore a charge a few days later thinking it's a mistake. In reality, cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period-you've already paid for that month. Your cancellation date is set for your next renewal, not today. Always check your confirmation email for the exact date your access will end and charges will stop. Mark this date on your calendar as a reminder to verify no charge appeared.

Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation

If a dispute arises and you've deleted your confirmation email, you have no proof you cancelled. Save every cancellation confirmation as soon as you see it-forward it to a personal email, take a screenshot, or print it. This proof is your lifeline if you need to dispute an unauthorised charge or escalate to CASE.

Mistake 4: forgetting to cancel on all devices

If you signed up on both your phone and your computer, or via Discord and Apple Pay, you may have multiple subscriptions. Cancelling one doesn't cancel the others. Check all platforms you've used and cancel Rythm Premium on each one. Log into Discord, Apple ID, Google Play, and Rythm.fm directly to review all active subscriptions under your account.

Should you keep or cancel Rythm

Before you commit to cancellation, consider whether Rythm still adds value to your Discord experience.

Reasons to keep Rythm premium

If you run a large Discord server where music is a core activity, or if your community regularly requests high-quality audio and extended playlists, Rythm Premium may justify its S$7.00 to S$7.50 monthly cost. Premium features like unlimited autoplay, extended queue length and audio effects studio reduce interruptions and give your server a more polished experience. If you haven't tested the free tier recently, you may not realise how limited it is-the free version often caps queue length and forces ad interruptions. Keep Premium if these features are actively used by your server members at least weekly.

Reasons to cancel Rythm premium

If your server has gone quiet, or if most members now use mobile apps or other music platforms, Rythm Premium's cost is dead money. If you rarely trigger premium features like unlimited autoplay or high-quality audio, the free tier covers your needs. If you have other music bots installed (like Hydra, FredBoat, or Lavalink bots), Premium may be redundant. If you're consolidating subscriptions to reduce monthly spend, cancelling Rythm frees up S$84 to S$90 per year. Tocancel's data shows that most users who cancel don't notice a significant difference, especially if they're only casually using the bot.

If you're cancelling Rythm, you may want to explore alternative music bots before you lose access to premium features.

Rythm's contact information for singapore users

Support and billing contact methods

Rythm does not list a Singapore-specific office or support number.

If Rythm refuses to refund an erroneous charge, escalate to your payment platform's dispute team, then to CASE if unresolved. Tocancel recommends always communicating in writing and keeping records of all support conversations.

Escalation contacts for unresolved disputes

If Rythm or your payment platform refuses to refund unauthorised charges or process your cancellation:

• Contact the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE): www.case.org.sg or call 1800-6100-6 (toll-free)
• File a complaint with the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS): www.cccs.gov.sg
