Subscribed Through Apple?
If you subscribed to Audible through the App Store (less common—most Audible accounts are directly with Amazon), cancel via Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Audible → Cancel Subscription.
Consider Pausing Instead
If you want a break but not a full cancellation, Audible lets you pause your membership for 1, 2, or 3 months. Your credits don't expire during a pause, and you retain access to your library.
To pause: Account Details → Membership Details → Pause Membership → choose duration.
