Xbox gamepass PC beta - canceling confusion

porina

I signed up to Game Pass for a month to try out Flight Simulator and decide if I want to buy it, and at what level. Well, there's about a week left on the sub so I decided to stop the recurring payment so I don't end up getting another month if I forget closer to the time.

 

What's confusing me is what do I need to cancel or not? Currently there's two lines, one for the service, and one for the payment. I have cancelled the recurring payment, and when doing do it says I will lose the benefits. That's as expected. I still have Game Pass showing as active, with a Cancel button next to that... do I need to stop that manually also? Or will that prematurely end the service given I have a week left on it? My worst case scenario is MS deciding to continue my service after this month ends, and then demand payment for it. I could prevent that by manually cancelling the sub, but that puts me back into the same problem in that I don't want to end it early, and there's a chance I'll forget if I wait until the end.

 

 

Edit: I found this on MS help page:

If you see Turn on recurring billing instead of Manage, your subscription will expire at the date shown for your subscription and you don't need to do anything else. To see details about your subscription, select Manage under the name of your subscription.

So it sounds like because I ended the recurring payment, it should also end the sub once the current month is out. Anyone confirm or otherwise this is the case from experience?
