Microsoft 365 Refund: How to Request It
Microsoft says most direct subscriptions may qualify when canceled within 30 days of the initial purchase or before the first recurring billing date, whichever comes first. A one-time refund of the most recent recurring charge may also be available when canceled within 30 days, but eligibility varies by product, country, seller, and account history.
