Accidental renewal
Explain that the charge renewed unexpectedly, state the date, and say whether you used the paid features after the charge.
Refunds
Cancellation stops future billing. Refunds are a separate decision. Google’s Google One policy says storage plan purchases are non-refundable in most countries, but billing channel, country, trial facts and store rules can change the answer.

Arguments that may help
Explain that the charge renewed unexpectedly, state the date, and say whether you used the paid features after the charge.
Mention if the trial terms, renewal date or billing channel were unclear. Attach the trial email if you have it.
Google notes some countries or regions may allow immediate cancellation and partial refunds. Ask support to review your region.
If Apple or Google Play billed you, use that store’s refund form. Google One support may redirect you.
If you were charged for both Google One AI and another Google/partner plan, attach both receipts.
Do not claim you never used the service if you used storage or AI benefits heavily. Keep the request accurate.
FAQ
No. Refund eligibility depends on billing channel, country, terms, timing and use. Google’s storage plan policy is generally non-refundable in most regions.
Use support and official refund paths first. A card dispute is a separate financial process and should be based on accurate facts and local rules.
