Check purchase history first
If the charge looks wrong, the first useful move is often checking the Apple purchase history tied to the Apple Account you use for subscriptions.

Apple Music billing problems: what to do if the charge looks wrong or you do not recognize it
Apple Music billing problems are often really Apple billing problems. That means the answer usually starts with purchase history, payment methods, and Apple’s billing tools rather than inside the Apple Music app itself. The key is to work out whether the issue is an unfamiliar charge, a failed payment, the wrong Apple Account, or a subscription you forgot was still active.
What matters most
The details that usually decide what people do next.
Unfamiliar charges have their own path
Apple has a separate route for charges you do not recognize, which is different from simply canceling a subscription you no longer want.
Billing issues often sit outside the Music app
If a payment method failed, a charge looks unfamiliar, or a subscription is tied to the wrong Apple Account, the Billing and Subscriptions support area is usually more useful than the music-only help pages.
