Fix Incorrect Microsoft 365 Pricing Display on OneDrive Android
Question details
The user is seeing a massive, incorrect price increase for their Microsoft 365 Family subscription within the OneDrive Android app.
- Product
- OneDrive Android App / Microsoft 365
- Device & OS
- Android
- Scenario
- Checking subscription details or receiving a price-change notification in the mobile app.
- Observed behavior
- The app shows an abnormally high renewal price (e.g., jumping from R149.00 to R19,900.00 per month) despite the subscription being purchased directly from Microsoft.
Before taking any action, verify your actual subscription status and billing amount by logging into your official Microsoft account via a web browser, rather than relying solely on the mobile app display.
Dismiss the Notification and Check Official Billing
This is a known visual bug affecting mobile price-change notifications. You can safely dismiss it without it affecting your actual billing rate.
Microsoft has identified this as a known issue where mobile applications display grossly incorrect price-change notifications. The amount shown in the OneDrive Android app does not reflect the actual renewal price.
Open the OneDrive Android app, locate the incorrect pricing notification, and simply dismiss or close the message. Do not attempt to renew or change your plan through this prompt.
Open a web browser on your phone or computer and log in to the official Microsoft Account dashboard.
Navigate to the 'Services & subscriptions' section to verify your actual, correct billing amount and next charge date.
If you notice an incorrect charge has actually been processed to your bank or credit card, contact Microsoft Subscription and Billing Support immediately for an adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I actually be charged the inflated amount shown in OneDrive?
No. The massive price increase shown in the OneDrive Android app is a known display bug. Your actual billing is tied to your Microsoft account agreement and will process at your normal rate.
Why does the OneDrive app show a pricing error if I bought directly from Microsoft?
Mobile apps sometimes experience synchronization glitches when fetching direct billing data from servers, resulting in placeholder or incorrect native app store billing prompts. Always check your subscription directly via the Microsoft website.
How do I contact Microsoft Support for billing issues?
You can reach Microsoft Subscription and Billing Support by logging into your Microsoft account online, navigating to the Help section, and selecting the billing support contact option.
