There are over 1,500 upvotes on that thread, and several similar threads on r\/netflix, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/netflix\/comments\/1t0ps4l\/netflix_will_not_let_me_go_netflix_let_me_go\/\">like this one<\/a>Even after trying all sorts of solutions, customers still report getting a similar error when trying to cancel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>Netflix&#8217;s own <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/help.netflix.com\/en\/node\/115778\">help page<\/a> The error code NSES-500 is described as a server issue that prevents the browser from loading the website, and there is nothing here to suggest that the company is intentionally preventing people from cancelling. Still, the timing is unfortunate, given that Netflix recently raised its US prices across the board. Premium with ads increased from $7.99 to $8.99, Standard increased from $17.99 to $19.99, and Premium increased from $24.99 to $26.99.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_D\">\n<p>This makes this error screen especially annoying for people who are trying to get ahead of their next billing date. One Redditor suggested changing the payment method to an expired card, while others suggested contacting the bank or trying a different browser. According to various reports, some users have had success canceling by calling Netflix customer service directly. If you&#8217;re experiencing similar frustrations and your billing date is approaching, this less-than-ideal approach may be the best option for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_pd e_D\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
