This exploits low billing visibility across SaaS products. The problem is structural across the SaaS industry, not limited to one vendor.

Notion Shifts to Monetization-First Changes with No Refund on Prepaid Plans
Notion users report that the product has shifted from user-focused innovation to recurring monetization changes, while longstanding mobile app usability issues go unaddressed. Subscribers who prepay cannot get refunds even when they disagree with new terms. SaaS tools that change pricing mid-subscription period without refund options erode long-term user trust.

The account describes unauthorized billing rather than a confirmed user error, raising a consent and billing-integrity concern.
App Subscriptions Continue Billing After App Deletion With No Automatic Cancellation
Mobile apps continue charging subscription fees after users delete the app, because billing is tied to the app store account rather than the install. Users who assume deletion cancels billing are surprised by continued charges. No link exists between uninstall events and subscription state in the default app store experience.
