Canva charges subscription fee 3 days after user cancels with no refund path

A user who cancelled their Canva subscription on April 25 was still charged on April 28. The lack of a cancellation confirmation mechanism and unclear billing cutoff windows create unexpected charges. This mirrors a recurring pattern across SaaS free-trial and subscription flows.
