How to terminate one service subscription in M365

  • Assumption
    • I have the Teams Premium subscription purchased as a stand-alone service contract with Microsoft.
    • I have started using the Microsoft 365 Business Basic license containing the Teams.
    • Now, the consideration is to terminate the service subscription for Teams so that the monthly automatic renewal contract is entirely terminated.
    • Instead, Microsoft 365 Business basic license will be increased at a time the new employee got hired.
    • Cancellation seems to get reflected to your wallet after 2 months.
  • Step
    • Go to M365 Admin Center and Billing -> Your Product.

    • Find the product you want to terminate the license subscription. And check it.

    • click dots a side of product name, and “Cancel Subscription.”

    • Select the suitable reason of subscription termination and then “Cancel Subscription”.



    • Once done, you will see when the service termination gets reflected.
      At the example below, i cancelled the service on September 23th 2024. It seems that the cancellation will be made long later than expectation.
