Two minutes of housekeeping now saves a support headache later if a charge reappears.
- The cancellation confirmation email or reference number — your proof if a charge reappears.
- The date your access ends, so you know exactly what you have already paid for.
- A screenshot of the final statement after the billing cycle closes.
- Which billing path you canceled (e.g. app store vs. the provider directly) — canceling one may not stop the other.
