I've only subscribed to YouTube Premium for the past two months, and I like the ad-free experience and Music streaming bundled in one price, PHP159 or $3/month. Will this probably my last? Yesterday morning, Google automatically charged me for my YouTube Premium subscription through my e-wallet service.

It was successfully deducted, but the service didn't update its validity. Does Google want me to charge twice, or they want me to go back on uBlock Origin on Librewolf (desktop) and NewPipe on Android? lol

EDIT (2023-10-22): Google recently refunded the amount to my e-wallet. So far, my account is still active. If ever Google bans my account, then probably my domain will be banned.

I'm not even using my bank's debit card as my Google's payment method. I linked my e-wallet account to my Google account.

I don't risk my bank's savings.

It's not about your bank account, it's about google possibly banning your google account if you do a chargeback. If you don't care about losing your google account, then you're fine.

It's weird because I've been using my e-wallet as my payment method on my former (now deleted) Google account for years, and never had issues with automatic renewal of my "Premium Pass" from one mobile game I used to play.

I will contact Google regarding this matter later.

Google permabans accounts immediately for chargebacks

That's different from a bank chargeback.
