How to Manage Your Microsoft Account Subscriptions
Your online Microsoft account dashboard is the central website where you manage paid services like Microsoft 365, Xbox Game Pass, and OneDrive storage. Checking this page regularly shows you your next billing date, payment methods, and active subscriptions in one simple view.
Stopping unwanted charges takes just a few clicks before your next renewal date arrives. Turning off recurring billing keeps your monthly spending under control without losing access to your favorite apps right away.
Access your Microsoft account dashboard online and navigate to the “Subscriptions” section. From there, you can view all active subscriptions, update payment methods, or cancel recurring billing. This centralizes management for services like Microsoft 365 and Xbox Game Pass.
