When Hulu charges you
Hulu bills monthly on the day of the month you subscribed, at the start of each billing cycle. If you're on the Disney Bundle, the single bundle charge comes from whoever you signed up with (Disney+ or Hulu), and add-ons and live TV are rolled into the same monthly charge — so the amount can be bigger than the base plan you remember picking.

Can you change your Hulu billing date?
No — Hulu doesn't offer a billing-date setting. Cancel, let the paid period run out, and resubscribe on the day you want your cycle to start. If you're billed through a third party (Disney+, Roku, Amazon, your phone carrier), the cycle is controlled there, not by Hulu.

Charged by Hulu unexpectedly?
First check who actually bills you — Hulu direct, the Disney Bundle, or a platform like Roku/Amazon — because the fix lives with the biller. Then check for add-ons or a plan change in your account. If you cancelled and were charged anyway, Hulu support can see whether the cancellation processed before the cycle started.
Never get surprised by a renewal again. Skycopia watches your bank feed and nudges you before each renewal date — including annual fees that land months off your usual cycle.
