Microsoft 365 features that help users manage their subscriptions, account settings, and billing information.
Sign in to your Microsoft account’s Services & subscriptions page, select Manage for Microsoft 365, and choose Turn off recurring billing to prevent future automatic charges.[^1^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "Turn recurring billing on or off for a Microsoft subscription | Microsoft Support")
Turn off recurring billing
- Go to Services & subscriptions and sign in with the Microsoft account used to purchase the subscription.
- Find your Microsoft 365 subscription and select Manage.
- Select Turn off recurring billing.
- Review the information, scroll down, and select either I don’t want my subscription or I want to keep my benefits, as displayed.
- Return to the subscription details and verify that:
- Turn on recurring billing is displayed, meaning recurring billing is now off; or
- An Expires on date appears without an option to turn recurring billing off.
Your subscription and its benefits remain available until the displayed expiration date, but it will not renew automatically.[^1^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "Turn recurring billing on or off for a Microsoft subscription | Microsoft Support")
If the option is missing
- Confirm that you signed in with the same personal Microsoft account used to buy Microsoft 365.
- If the subscription was purchased through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, Best Buy, or another retailer, billing must be managed directly through that provider rather than Microsoft.[^2^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "Unable to cancel your Microsoft subscription | Microsoft Support")
- If an overdue balance exists, it must be paid before cancellation can be completed.
- For a work or school subscription, contact your organization’s IT administrator.
