Can't cancel my plan, buy new plan and use the apps.

I just cancelled my Students Plan in December 2025 and when I did that it said my plan will be over in December 2026. I thought it was an error and didn't pay too much attention. Yesterday(4.1.2026) I couldn't use an app because I had to re-activate my subscription, so I went back and checked, it said my plan will be over January 5 2026. Today(5.1.2026) it says my plan will be over February 5. I can neither re-subscribe nor cancel the plan. Plus can't use any app, cause it says "Buy".

Thanks for the update, Orion, and I am sure this must be a very frustrating experience.

I had to beg AI Assistant to reach an agent but eventually I could and it only took him/her 5 minutes to fix my issue. I still don't know it happened but it's fixed now. They manually terminated my plan. Thank you guys anyways. Have a nice day.

start here, https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/kb/stop-creative-cloud-trial-mode-after-purchase.html

 

ONLY IF YOUR ACCOUNT SHOWS A SUBSCRIPTION WITH NO PAYMENT PROBLEMS, proceed to these steps -

and if that fails, https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/adobe-license-issues-keychain-credential-mgr.html

 

additionally, below are solutions some users reported:

 

if those all fail, change your cc language. eg, try international english

if that fails, change the install location

First of all thank you for your help. I believe I did everything but it's still the same. On my Adobe Account website it shows I own CC and I have no problem with my payment method, and it says it'll be over next month. I can only check my billing history (like you can see in the photo). It doesn't even allow me to buy another CC subscribtion. Like I'm stuck in this Adobe hell.
