Canceling does not automatically request money back
Ending the subscription stops future renewals, but Apple treats a refund request as a separate step.

Apple Music refunds: how to ask, what is eligible, and where to do it
Apple Music refunds are handled through Apple’s own purchase and refund system rather than through a simple Apple Music button inside the app. If you were charged and want money back, the most important thing is to use Apple’s official refund route instead of assuming canceling the subscription automatically creates a refund request.
What matters most
The details that usually decide what people do next.
Apple uses Report a Problem
Apple tells users to go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, choose Request a refund, and then pick the relevant subscription or item.
Approval is not automatic
Apple describes purchases as potentially eligible for refunds, which means the request still goes through a review process rather than being guaranteed.
