You cannot delete a rate plan after it's published, but you can expire the rate plan and
optionally replace it with a future rate plan.

If a rate plan has **no End Date specified**, you can expire the rate plan using
one of the following methods:

- [Create a future rate plan](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/monetization/create-future-rate-plans). The parent rate plan will expire automatically on the date that the future rate plan starts.
- Expire the rate plan by specifying an End Date. You can set the end date to today or a date in the future. For more information, see:
  - [Editing a rate plan draft
    using the UI](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/monetization/create-rate-plans#edit)
  - [Editing a rate
    plan draft using the API](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/monetization/create-rate-plans#updaterpapi)

If a rate plan has an **End Date specified** , you cannot change its expiration
date. You can create a future rate plan and set it to become effective on a date after the parent
rate plan expiration date, as described in [Create future rate plans](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/monetization/create-future-rate-plans).

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** You cannot define future rate plans with an effective date that overlaps with the parent rate plan expiration date, if set.
