How to correct next payment subscription date.

Check whether Microsoft 365 Premium is configured for annual billing; if your receipt confirms a one-year purchase but the account still shows a charge in March, contact the billing provider to correct the account-specific discrepancy.

Check the subscription and billing cycle

1. Sign in to Services & subscriptions at https://account.microsoft.com/services using the same Microsoft account used for the purchase.
2. Find Microsoft 365 Premium, then select Manage.
3. Check:
   • The displayed plan and billing cycle.
   • The Next charge date and amount.
   • Whether the payment appears in the billing history.
   “Next charge” is the date recurring billing will collect another payment; Expires on instead means recurring billing is off. [^1^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "What happens when your Microsoft 365 subscription expires | Microsoft Support")
4. If the plan shows monthly billing, select Switch plan and choose annual billing, if that option is available. Microsoft documents this under Manage → Switch plan.

Changing the cycle affects future billing; review the date and amount shown before confirming.

If it already shows annual billing

Compare the Microsoft order receipt with the subscription page:

• If the receipt says the payment covered one year, but the next charge is still in March, use Contact Microsoft Support: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2258335. Enter the billing problem, select Get Help, and then Contact Support. Provide the order date, charged amount, receipt/order number, and the conflicting next-charge date. Do not post those details publicly. [^3^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "Switch between Microsoft 365 subscriptions")
• Upgrading to a higher Microsoft 365 plan converts and adds eligible remaining time from the previous subscription to the new one. Although the converted number of days varies by the plans involved, that conversion does not explain removing time from a newly purchased annual term.

If Microsoft does not manage the billing

If Manage, Cancel, or Change payment options are missing or limited, the subscription may have been purchased through Apple, Google, Amazon, or another retailer. In that case, contact that provider because third-party purchases must be corrected through the provider’s billing system.
