What to know before you cancel

After cancelling, Word/Excel go read-only but your OneDrive files remain downloadable, export anything over the free 5GB limit or it gets locked eventually. The classic-pricing dodge: Microsoft offered 'Personal Classic' plans without Copilot at the old price, buried in the cancellation flow, starting to cancel is sometimes the only way to see it. Family at $12.99 across 6 people is still one of software's best per-person deals.
