Why was I charged after I canceled?
If you notice a subscription charge after you cancel your HBO Max subscription, it may be because…
- You canceled just before your auto-renewal date
- Your subscription is still active
- You have more than one subscription
You canceled just before your auto-renewal date
You may have canceled your subscription less than 24 hours before your next billing date. Some providers will charge you 1 or 2 days before your next billing cycle starts (the timing of this charge varies by billing provider).
Your subscription is still active
If you notice a subscription charge after canceling, your subscription might still be active. Check if your subscription has an expiration date and/or a canceled status.
To check the status of your subscription, find your billing provider below:

You have more than one subscription
You might have multiple HBO Max accounts.

- Open HBO Max on each device that you use (phone, tablet, TV, computer).

, and then find or tap Account.
- TV device: Choose the Settings icon (lower left) and then choose Account.

Signed in with multiple email addresses?
If you find more than one email address, then you have multiple HBO Max accounts. To fix this, for each account go to Settings to find out who's billing you (go to Who's billing me?).
Once you know who's billing you, you can decide which subscription you want to cancel (go to How do I cancel?).
