How to Find and Cancel a Power Automate Trial Subscription
Question details
The user needs to locate and cancel a Power Automate trial subscription to ensure automatic renewal is disabled, but cannot find it in the standard billing products list.
- Product
- Microsoft Power Automate
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Managing trial subscriptions and checking automatic renewal status within the Microsoft 365 admin center.
- Observed behavior
- The Power Automate trial does not appear under Billing > Products in the Microsoft 365 admin center, making it difficult to confirm if recurring billing is active or to cancel the trial.
Ensure you are logged into the Microsoft 365 admin center with an account that has Global Administrator or Billing Administrator privileges.
Check 'Your Products' and 'Licenses' Menus
Free trials are sometimes categorized differently than paid subscriptions. Checking the specific product and license pages often reveals hidden active trials.
Microsoft 365 admin center occasionally separates active free trials from fully paid products. If you cannot find the trial under the standard 'Products' page, you should check alternative billing menus.
Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center and log in with your administrator credentials.
In the left-hand navigation pane, click on the 'Billing' menu to expand it.
Click on 'Your products' or navigate to the 'Licenses' section to view a complete list of active trials and assigned licenses.
Once you locate the Power Automate trial in the list, select it. Click 'Cancel subscription' or click to turn off 'Recurring billing' if the option is available.
Contact Microsoft 365 Billing Support
If the trial subscription is completely missing from the admin center, you will need to contact support to verify its status and manually cancel it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I see my Power Automate trial in the admin center?
Trials are sometimes grouped under 'Licenses' or 'Your products' instead of the standard 'Products' list. Additionally, you might lack the necessary billing administrator permissions to view subscription details.
Will a Power Automate trial automatically renew into a paid subscription?
It depends on how the trial was initiated. If credit card details were provided during sign-up, recurring billing might be turned on by default. It is highly recommended to check your billing settings to turn off recurring billing if you do not wish to be charged.
Can I cancel my Microsoft 365 trial directly from the Power Automate dashboard?
No, subscription and billing management for enterprise tools like Power Automate must be handled centrally through the Microsoft 365 admin center.
