Stop Microsoft 365 subscription
It may be that in the above steps you do not see the right license to cancel. It may be that you need to cancel it via another way, namely via a special Microsoft 365 page, but this depends on your subscription type. Go to this page and log in with your corresponding Office 365 or Microsoft 365 account. When you are logged in, you will get the option to click on "Cancel Subscription". After clicking this button you will go through a few steps to complete the cancellation.
Subscription for one year
If you have opted for an annual subscription of Office 365 then you cannot simply cancel your subscription. If you have taken out an annual subscription within the last 30 days then you can still get a refund, if you choose to do this then you can no longer use the license and the applications will immediately change to read-only mode.
Subscription purchased via a mobile device
If you have purchased an Office 365 or Microsoft 365 subscription via your phone or tablet, you must also cancel the subscription in the corresponding store. For example, if you purchased a subscription through the App Store, you must cancel it through the same App Store. Please note! Certain App Stores have different terms than Microsoft itself when it comes to cancelling subscriptions.
