- Paid memberships should show canceled and the date Premium benefits end.
- Billing owner
- The company shown on the receipt or account controls refund handling.
- Evidence
- Keep the receipt, cancellation status, effective date, and response from the seller.
Review the official refund or subscription terms for the company that posted the charge before requesting a reversal. YouTube — cancel Premium or Music Premium

Troubleshooting
Why a cancellation can appear to fail
If YouTube Premium still appears active or keeps billing, check wrong google account, store billing missed, pause confused with cancel, and family manager required before treating the subscription as canceled.
Wrong Google account
The paid membership may be attached to another login.
Store billing missed
YouTube controls do not cancel Apple or Google Play billing.
Pause confused with cancel
A paused membership can resume billing later.
Family manager required
Only the family manager can cancel a family membership.
