Fix Unexpected Microsoft 365 Billing Pop-Up in OneDrive App
Question details
The user is seeing an unexpected monthly subscription charge pop-up in the OneDrive Android app despite having an active, recently renewed annual Microsoft 365 Family subscription.
- Product
- OneDrive
- Device & OS
- Android
- Scenario
- Using the OneDrive mobile app after recently renewing an annual Microsoft 365 Family subscription.
- Observed behavior
- A pop-up requesting a monthly payment appears in the OneDrive app, even though the user has 1 TB of included storage and is only using 10% of it.
Do not click 'OK' or accept any prompts for unexpected charges within the app, as this may accidentally authorize a new payment through your app store.
Verify Your Active Subscription Status
Check your Microsoft account online to confirm your annual Microsoft 365 Family plan is active and in good standing.
Often, app-specific billing prompts are caused by a synchronization delay between the app store and your Microsoft account. Verifying your subscription directly on the web ensures your actual account status is correct.
Open a web browser and navigate to account.microsoft.com. Sign in with the credentials associated with your Microsoft 365 Family plan.
Click on 'Services & subscriptions' from the top navigation menu.
Locate your Microsoft 365 Family plan and confirm its expiration date, billing status, and that your 1 TB of OneDrive storage is active.
Contact Microsoft Support for Billing Clarification
If the prompt persists or you suspect it relates to recent plan changes, reach out to Microsoft Support to review the error.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my Microsoft 365 subscription price increase recently?
Microsoft recently adjusted some Microsoft 365 Family and Personal plans to include new AI features like Copilot and Microsoft Designer, which may result in price changes upon your annual renewal.
Can I downgrade my Microsoft 365 plan to avoid paying for new AI features?
Yes, existing subscribers may have the option to switch to a lower-priced plan, such as Microsoft 365 Family Classic, which does not include Copilot or AI points. You can check your availability for this plan in your account's Services & subscriptions page.
Will I be charged if I accidentally click OK on the OneDrive Android pop-up?
If your Android device is linked to a payment method through Google Play billing, clicking OK might authorize a new monthly charge. Always verify your billing status directly on the Microsoft website before accepting in-app billing prompts.
