Plain-English summary
Your Google One subscription automatically renews indefinitely, and you may face automatic charges after a free trial. Unused AI credits can be forfeited upon plan termination or cancellation, potentially leading to a loss of prepaid value. Deleting the service explicitly via 'service deletion' leads to immediate loss of access. If you purchase through a third party, they manage payments, cancellations, and refunds. If your Google One subscription is canceled or suspended, you may lose access to your backed-up data.
