Why am I being charged for both iCloud+ plans?

I had a 50 GB storage plan, upgraded this to 200GB. I understand that the 200 includes the original 50 but I'm being charged for both. My account only shows the 200GB but I have two separate invoices to pay, one for 50, and another for 200. If the 200 includes the original 50, why are there two separate invoices?


Your iCloud Plan - iCloud+ with 200 GB storage

When you upgrade iCloud storage the new storage replaces the old one. It does not include or contain it, it merely replaces it.


That is, you don't get 250GB (200+50) of storage. You just get 200 total.


Where exactly are you seeing these invoices? How do you know they are both for iCloud+?


You could have a .99c charge for something other than iCloud+.

If you recently upgraded, and your previous plan also renewed shortly after, you may be charged for both. In that case, you would need to contact Apple support for a refund. It should only happen once though.


Otherwise, you cannot get charged for 2 different iCloud plans on the same apple account. The new one automatically replaces the previous one.


If you changed Apple IDs but did not cancel iCloud on the old one, it will continue to charge you.
