Microsoft 365 features that help users manage their subscriptions, account settings, and billing information.
Cancelling a subscription doesn't necessarily stop the billing.
Microsoft 365 is an annual subscription, which you can choose to pay for up front or in 12 instalments. But it's still an annual subscription, not a monthly subscription. If you don't want to continue using the software, that's up to you, but you did buy an annual subscription.
Turning off recurring billing (which is also what I do) means that your account won't be automatically charged for another subscription when the current subscription runs out.
From Microsoft, here is their official Microsoft subscription refund policy.
I also want to point out that Microsoft Q&A is a user community forum for technical advice. No one here has access to your billing information, nor would you want us to have that kind of access. To contact Microsoft's billing support, start here:
