Unable to cancel inactive Azure Developer Support Plan

Question

Unable to cancel inactive Azure Developer Support Plan

순용 서 0

Hello,

I accidentally enrolled in the Azure Developer Support Plan and I want it completely cancelled.

Current status:

Subscription Name: Microsoft Azure Support
Plan: Developer Support
Support Subscription ID: e8897873-ce29-4424-d2ef-8154ae48a7ad
Status: Unknown / Inactive
Next Invoice: None

Problems:

The Cancel button is unavailable because the subscription is inactive.
I cannot create a support request for this support subscription because it does not appear in the list.
In Cost Management + Billing, the cancellation option is disabled.
Microsoft continues attempting payment authorization and I keep receiving payment retry notifications.

This was an accidental purchase.

I have never intended to use this support plan and do not want any charges to be processed.

Please advise how I can:

Permanently cancel this support plan
Prevent any future charges

Thank you.

Hello @순용 서

Based on the information provided, this appears to be an issue with an Azure Support Plan subscription that is in an inactive state but may still have billing or payment authorization attempts associated with it.

Recommended** **Resolution:

Verify whether the support plan is visible under Cost****Management**+Billing or SupportPlans** in the Azure portal.
- Sign in to the Azure portal.
- Navigate to Cost** **Management+Billing.
- Select All****BillingSubscriptions or Support** **Plans.
- Check whether the Developer Support Plan is listed and whether there is an option to cancel or switch to the free Basic plan
If the support plan is inactive and the Cancel option is unavailable:
- Raise a Billing** Support **Request under your Azure subscription (not the support plan subscription).
- Azure Billing and Subscription Management support is available without requiring a paid support plan
In the support request, include:
- Support Subscription ID: XXXXXXXXXXX
- Current Status: Unknown** / **Inactive
- Screenshots showing:
- Cancel option disabled
- Support subscription not appearing in the support request list
- Payment retry notifications received
- Confirmation that the purchase was accidental and that you have never intended to use the plan.
Request the Billing Team to:
- Permanently cancel the Azure Developer Support Plan.
- Stop all future payment authorization attempts.
- Remove any recurring billing associated with the support plan.
- Review any pending charges and confirm that no future invoices will be generated.

Request that the Billing Team permanently cancel the support plan, disable any future renewals or payment retries, and confirm that no further charges will be processed.

Regards,

Venkat.M
