One cancellation issue we found
Current company instructions, regulator findings and customer reports are labeled separately. That way you can see what is official, what is reported and what is older context.
The original biller controls cancellation and access timing
A direct discovery+ subscription uses its Subscription page, while app stores, television providers and mobile providers use their own controls. Discovery+ advises cancelling one day before the next bill, and access timing can differ by provider, including immediate termination in some DIRECTV cases. Identify the biller, cancel there and save both the renewal status and access-end date. Deleting the app does not stop billing.
