How do you resolve problems accessing benefits after being charged?
You may have attempted to make a purchase or received a charge notification (such as a message from your cellular carrier) but found that you can't access what you purchased. This can occur if your charge is still processing or if it's declined.

It is possible to see several pending charges for one subscription payment with each pending charge representing an attempt at authorization. If the charge is "pending" rather than processed, that means you have not been charged, and all unsuccessful card authorization attempts to pay will automatically fall off your statements and you won't be charged.

Check your statement or Google Pay for further details. After you tap on the transaction on Google Pay, the purchase should be reflected as a "pending" charge and not completed.

Check for an email receipt. If you're still seeing a pending charge at this point, please contact your payment provider. This can very easily solve YouTube Premium billing problems!

Double-check the status of your purchase in Google Pay. The transaction status in Google Pay should be declined. You can use this method to recover from a declined payment. If you are using another payment method that includes debit or credit card payment, you need to verify the data.
