Why was my Crunchyroll subscription canceled if I didn’t request it?
Your subscription may have been canceled due to payment issues with your PlayStation Wallet or changes in your account.
For example:
- If there was an issue with your PlayStation Wallet, such as insufficient funds or an expired payment method, we wouldn’t be able to process your renewal.
- If you removed app consent in your Sony account, PlayStation may continue to bill you, but Crunchyroll will no longer be able to verify your payment status. In this case, your subscription will expire at the end of your current billing cycle.
To avoid interruptions, please ensure your PlayStation Wallet has sufficient funds and app consent remains active in your Sony account.
What can I do if there is an unrecognized charge on my PlayStation bill?
Review your PlayStation account transactions and contact PlayStation Customer Service to dispute any unrecognized charges.
How do I contact PlayStation customer service?

If you choose to revoke your consent after you’ve subscribed, Crunchyroll will not be able to update your subscription and your Premium membership access will expire at the end of your billing cycle.
