Cant renew realm

I ended up cancelling auto-renew entirely and temporarily deactivating my realm completely so I could set it up to be charged at times more convenient for my fixed income. Currently, I manually renew my 2-person realm every month now via my Nintendo Switch (on which I have the Switch version of Minecraft Bedrock), but I wouldn't call that a solution or even a workaround, because the problem is that auto-renew on Microsoft is correctly taking payments but not actually resulting in renewing a 2-friend realm.

Renewing manually every month on a completely different non-Microsoft game console that I also have Minecraft for is not a viable workaround for autorenewing a realm for someone who only has Minecraft Bedrock on PC.

There must be something buggy in the communication between a Microsoft server saying "the subscription has been paid this month" and the Mojang server that's supposed to answer "okay, we confirm that the existing realm is successfully renewed for the next 30 days" (or, what I think we'd all appreciate at the very least: "there was a problem renewing the existing realm, refund the customer their payment and tell them there was a problem").

(I haven't tried auto-renewing via Nintendo but problems with that method wouldn't belong here anyway.)

Hello Rylen,

Let me help you with your concern today. Please note that this is a public forum and I'm a mere user like you, I apologize for a delay in response.

Sorry to hear your Realm is still showing as expired. Can you please try to go in here and check if your Realm is listed as active under your subscriptions? https://account.microsoft.com/services

When you go to Minecraft > Settings > Subscriptions > My subscriptions. The only Realm listed in here is the expired Realm that you renewed? Or is there a new Realm? Because sometimes when you renew a Realm server, instead of it renewing that Realm, it creates a new one so I want to check if that is what happened in your case.

I will be awaiting your response.

I am dealing with the same issue, it has occurred to me just now.

I renewed a realm, they took the money, and I don't have my realm

I had a similar issue just last week when my realm renewed i tried to join my realm and it was stating that my version of minecraft was out of date and it kept trying to get me two spend $23.97 USD for a skin pack that had nothing to with realms on top of the $17.08 USD i had just spent renewing two realms after looking up some stuff on it i couldn't figure how to fix but i did find out that my brother was having the same problem with his realm

Hi

I have exactly the same issue, and it has happened twice to me now. The Realm says it has expired even though the recurring billing function charged me on the renewal date, then a few days later the realm says expired, and so I click renew and it charges me for a new realm as well. I am currently being charged for 3 realms when I actually only have 1!!!

Can someone please help.
