Removes a member account from its parent organization. This version of the operation
is performed by the account that wants to leave. To remove a member account as a user in
the management account, use RemoveAccountFromOrganization
instead.
This operation can be called only from a member account in the organization.
The management account in an organization with all features enabled can
set service control policies (SCPs) that can restrict what administrators of
member accounts can do. This includes preventing them from successfully
calling LeaveOrganization and leaving the organization.
You can leave an organization as a member account only if the account is
configured with the information required to operate as a standalone account.
When you create an account in an organization using the Organizations console,
API, or CLI commands, the information required of standalone accounts is
not automatically collected. For each account that
you want to make standalone, you must perform the following steps. If any of
the steps are already completed for this account, that step doesn't
appear.

Provide and verify the required contact information
The account that you want to leave must not be a delegated administrator
account for any Amazon Web Services service enabled for your organization. If the account
is a delegated administrator, you must first change the delegated
administrator account to another account that is remaining in the
organization.
You can leave an organization only after you enable IAM user access to
billing in your account. For more information, see Activating Access to the Billing and Cost Management Console in the
Amazon Web Services Billing and Cost Management User Guide.
After the account leaves the organization, all tags that were attached to
the account object in the organization are deleted. Amazon Web Services accounts outside
of an organization do not support tags.
A newly created account has a waiting period before it can be removed from
its organization. If you get an error that indicates that a wait period is
required, then try again in a few days.
