# What happens if I cancel my Microsoft subscription?

Microsoft subscriptions can be canceled by placing a termination order. The cancellation policy depends on the type of CSP product or service.

#### For Microsoft Azure

You can place a termination order for an individual subscription or an entire agreement containing multiple subscriptions. Azure usage is billed in arrears, meaning charges are based on usage from the previous month.

#### For all other Microsoft products

For all other Microsoft products, such as Microsoft Dynamics, Microsoft 365, and software subscriptions):

* **Cancellation within 7 days of purchase or renewal** – If a termination order is submitted within 7 days of the subscription purchase or renewal, the subscription is canceled in Microsoft systems and terminated in Marketplace. A prorated refund may apply as per the [New Commerce Experience Cancellation Policy](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/customers/new-commerce-cancellation-policy).
* **Cancellation outside the 7-day window** – Termination orders cannot be placed for NCE subscriptions after the 7-day window. Any termination orders outside this window will automatically fail, and the subscription will remain active until the end of its commitment term. If the subscription is no longer required, disable automatic renewal to prevent it from renewing at the end of the commitment term.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/extensions/microsoft-cloud-solution-provider/additional-resources/faqs/what-happens-if-i-cancel-my-microsoft-subscription.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
