You closed your account and assumed everything tied to it ended immediately.
But later, you noticed subscription charges continuing — or found that your plan was still marked as active.
This situation feels contradictory because account deletion and subscription termination appear connected.
However, deleting an account does not always cancel active billing agreements.
Why Subscriptions Can Remain After Account Deletion
- Subscriptions are managed by external billing systems
- Account closure does not automatically terminate payment contracts
- Renewal agreements remain valid until manually cancelled
- Deletion requests may process after billing cycles renew
- Third-party payment providers continue charging active plans
What Happens in the Billing System
- Subscription contracts exist independently from login accounts
- Payment authorizations remain active until revoked
- Renewal queues generate invoices even after account removal
- Billing platforms cannot cancel plans without user confirmation
How to Verify If the Subscription Is Still Active
- Check bank or card billing statements
- Review subscription emails or invoices
- Contact support to confirm account closure status
- Check app store or payment provider subscriptions
How to Stop Charges After Account Deletion
- Cancel subscriptions directly through billing providers
- Disable auto-renewal in payment settings
- Request manual cancellation from support
- Block merchant billing authorizations if necessary
If subscription billing continues after account deletion, it usually means the payment contract remained active — not that the deletion failed.
