It may take up to 30 days for the refund to appear on your account.

Can I get a refund on iCloud storage?
Yes, it is possible to get a refund on iCloud storage. However, there are some conditions that need to be met in order to be eligible for a refund.
Firstly, the refund will only be made if you have paid for additional iCloud storage, not the free 5GB that comes with every iCloud account. If you have purchased an iCloud storage plan and wish to get a refund, it can only be done if you cancel the plan within 14 days of purchase.
Additionally, if you cancel your plan after 14 days, you will not receive a refund for the remaining period. However, you can keep using the paid storage until the end of the subscription period.
To request a refund for iCloud storage, you need to contact Apple Support and provide details of your purchase. They will guide you through the process and determine if you are eligible for a refund.
