I need to cancel the “Automatic Renewal” of my subscription

I see no option for cancelling the “Automatic Renewal” of my subscription at:

https://my.norton.com/extspa/account/personalinfo  --> My Account/My Subscription.

Virtual chat did not understand my problem. I then tried live chat and waited for almost an hour, but no agent ever showed up.

Norton 360 Deluxe
Windows 10 Pro 64bit

after a renewal offer is posted about 30 days before a current subscription expires, the setting of the automatic renewal option can't be changed online.

Thanks!

I was able to renew my subscription over the phone and the  "Cancel Subscription Renewal" option is back in the space where a renewal offer had been posted.
In other words, after a renewal offer is posted about 30 days before a current subscription expires, the setting of the automatic renewal option can't be changed online.

bjm, I want to thank you for all your help and patience

All you the reasons you listed above make sense. I am going to try next week to get through on the phone and renew for $39.99/year if possible— I'm not going to sign up for $104.99/year. In any case, I much appreciate your assistance and will let you know the outcome whatever it may be.

Attached is a screenshot of "Billing Information." I came up with a workaround because this site does not accept JPG files for uploading:

Take a Screenshot-->Insert (as a picture) into a Word document-->Save as a PDF file-->Upload the Word file to this site.

but in the meantime Norton had switched me to Automatic Renewal, which I now can't reverse.

@Opahujo
Other than the Email.  How do you know your Norton subscription is Automatic Renewal.  
Does your Norton account have billing information?
Can you remove Billing Information from your Norton account?
Curious, what does your Norton Security/360 main window -> Help -> Subscription Status report?  

Curious, what does your Norton Security/360 main window -> Subscription Status report? 

Maybe, opting Automatic Renewal recently .... just days before your current term expires.... just means Automatic Renewal will be in effect for the next term.  
Maybe, you cannot reverse Automatic Renewal until current term subscription is acted upon....via Renew Now. 
Maybe, it'll take a few days for your Norton account to reflect Automatic Renewal?
And until then your Norton account reflects Renew Now?
And until your account reflects Automatic Renewal on.... you cannot switch Automatic Renewal off? 

Community users do not have access to your Norton account information.  

Maybe, you need to clear browser cookies n' cache?
Maybe, you need Sign Out of Norton (main window and My Norton account) + machine Restart?
Maybe, you need to cycle Administrative Settings -> Remote Manager on/off/on + machine Restart and then check your Norton account?  

Seems, like your Renew Now offer & Automatic Renewal email do not compute.  

Please contact Norton Support to confirm one way or the other whats what with your Norton subscription.

The email is legitimate. Here is what happened: I was trying to renew my subscription when I noticed that nowhere was the price shown, i.e., I could not tell whether what I was being charged—$39.99 or $104.99. So I deleted my post before finishing it, but in the meantime Norton had switched me to Automatic Renewal, which I now can't reverse.

I'm 90 and not a novice when it comes to PCs and the Internet. Also, I have used Norton antivirus programs for several decades and reversing Automatic Renewal was always a simple matter. I am running out of patience and thinking about switching to some other antivirus program.

bjm, I do really appreciate your efforts to find a solution for my problem with the Automatic Renewal option. It's been my experience over the years that forums manned by volunteers are usually more helpful in solving problems than the sellers of given hardware or software products.

I received an email yesterday that said this: (The asterisk is not explained.)

"You’ve activated the automatic renewal for your Norton™ 360 Deluxe subscription and will now have the convenience of uninterrupted protection.

Also, if I were not enrolled in Automatic Renewal, I should see an option to do so.

Hmm ...head scratch?
Curious, what does your Help -> Subscription Status report?  
Does your Norton account have billing information?

Maybe, since you're subscription expires 10/22/2021.  You see "Renew Now" offer. 

Yes, I see "Activate Subscription Renewal".  

Sorry, head scratch why you've received Email.
"You’ve activated the automatic renewal for your Norton™ 360 Deluxe subscription and will now have the convenience of uninterrupted protection."

Sorry, no agent showed up.

Also, if I were not enrolled in Automatic Renewal, I should see an option to do so.

What does Help -> Subscription Status report?

I had already tried that. That's how it used to work.

I don't see it.(See screen shot)
