This is Tin, I'll do my best to help. Just to confirm, are you referring to MS Office 365 subscription price increase?

If yes, Please be informed that Microsoft 365 Family subscriptions has been increased from USD 99.99* per year to USD 129.99* per year.

The increase in your Microsoft account charges in February 2026 may be related to adjustments in pricing for Microsoft’s Commercial Cloud services, which were announced to align more closely with global levels. Effective February 1, 2026, Microsoft adjusted prices in various currencies, which could have impacted your subscription costs. Additionally, if your subscription was upgraded to include new features like Copilot, this could also result in a higher charge without prior notification.

If you believe the increase was unexpected, it is advisable to contact Microsoft Support for clarification on your account charges and any potential changes to your subscription.
