Microsoft 365 features that help users manage their subscriptions, account settings, and billing information.
Identify the $9.52 transaction through Microsoft’s Manage your payments page, then cancel the subscription associated with it; this public forum cannot access your account or stop the charge directly.
Identify and stop the charge
- Open Manage your payments and sign in to your Microsoft account.
- Select Investigate beside the unrecognized $9.52 transaction. Microsoft lists recurring subscriptions, family-member purchases, retried declined payments, and in-app purchases among the possible sources of unfamiliar charges.^1^
- Once the associated subscription is identified, open Services & subscriptions.
- Find the subscription and select Manage → Cancel (sometimes shown as Upgrade or Cancel), then complete every confirmation screen.[^2^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "How to get a refund on a Microsoft subscription | Microsoft Support")
- If the page displays Turn on recurring billing, renewal is already disabled; check the displayed expiration date. No further cancellation action is needed.
Cancellation does not automatically guarantee a refund. The cancellation process will show any refund option for which the purchase is eligible.[^2^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "How to get a refund on a Microsoft subscription | Microsoft Support")
If the charge is not listed
- Repeat the check using any other personal Microsoft account that might have used the card, including an old account or a family member’s account. Using the wrong account is a documented reason a subscription or charge may not appear.[^3^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "Unable to cancel your Microsoft subscription | Microsoft Support")
- If it was purchased through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, or another retailer, cancellation must be handled by that seller rather than through Microsoft’s subscription page.[^3^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "Unable to cancel your Microsoft subscription | Microsoft Support")
- If it remains unidentified, open Contact Microsoft Support, enter unrecognized recurring billing charge, select Get Help, and then Contact Support.^1^
If nobody authorized the payment, contact the card issuer immediately and report the card as compromised—not only dispute the transaction—so additional charges can be blocked.^1^
Do not post the full card number, security code, account email, or transaction reference publicly.
