# Why am I seeing recent charges on my card?

If you see recent charges, the most likely reason is an active subscription.

## What to do

1. Check your statement and confirm which plan or product was charged.
2. Cancel the subscription in your dashboard if you want to stop future recurring charges.
3. Watch for new charges after cancellation.
4. If charges continue, open a support ticket and share charge details.
