    Hi, I'm Bernard. I'm happy to help!

    Kindly check what the root cause of the cancellation is. It can be due to the card or your bank:

    Kindly go to this link:

    https://account.microsoft.com/services

    Look for your subscription and check if it's still active or if there is an issue with the payment.

    If the subscription was paid but apps show it as canceled, check these items:

    1. Go to Services & subscriptions and confirm the subscription is active and shows the correct end date.
    2. Make sure the apps are signed in with the same Microsoft account that was used to purchase the subscription.
    3. In Word or Excel, go to File > Account and use Update License, then sign in again.
    4. If the subscription was recently changed from one plan to another, such as Microsoft 365 Family to Microsoft 365 Personal, the previous plan can show as canceled as part of the switch.
    5. If the charge still appears wrong or the subscription status is incorrect, use the Manage your payments page to investigate the charge.
    6. If needed, contact support through Contact Microsoft Support.

    If Turn on recurring billing appears instead of Manage, the subscription is already set to expire on the shown date and there should be no further automatic charge.
