You didn’t cancel.
Because you never saw the renewal warning.
No reminder.
No notice.
No alert.
Then the charge appeared.
The renewal email was sitting in your spam folder.
Why Renewal Emails Go to Spam
- Automated billing emails trigger spam filters
- Subscription services use no-reply domains
- Low engagement emails get filtered out
- Previous emails were deleted without opening
What Happens When You Miss It
- Auto-renewal proceeds as scheduled
- No second reminder is sent
- The charge processes immediately
- Access continues without interruption
Silence does not stop renewal.
How to Check If This Happened
- Search your spam or junk folder
- Look for renewal or billing notices
- Check the timestamp before the charge
- Review subscription notification settings
How to Prevent It Next Time
- Whitelist billing email domains
- Enable app push notifications
- Turn on card charge alerts
- Check renewal dates manually
Most renewal charges aren’t hidden.
The warning was sent — just filtered out.
