:::caution You can't cancel a planned change

Once you submit a significant change, you can't cancel or modify it. To revert a planned change, [contact support](https://apify.com/contact).

:::

Plan your pricing strategy carefully. A pending change blocks submitting new ones. Wait for the significant change to take effect before submitting another one.
You can submit significant changes once per month per Actor, so plan your pricing strategy carefully. A pending change blocks submitting new ones. Wait for the significant change to take effect before submitting another one.

Note that if your Actor has no paying users, the waiting period doesn't apply and the change takes effect immediately.

Factually correct 👍

note: In the codebase we call it cooldown and notice period
cooldown = monthly change limit since last significant change = waiting period
notice period = for significant changes (price increase typically) 14 days
