The people on this forum are users like yourself and we cannot do anything about this ourselves. I have never heard of Apple waiving a payment. Their process is you will have to pay and then ask for a refund.

Notes:
• “If you signed up for a free or discounted trial subscription and you don't want to renew it, cancel it at least 24 hours before the trial ends." Note that by using an app like this you are automatically agreeing (always read the fine print) to this happening, are responsible for reading if this will happen, and canceling the subscription before the trial ends. E.g., Bait and switch on Apple apps - Apple Community Exceptions apply in some countries ➔ About canceling subscriptions in Germany, Israel, South Africa, or Türkiye - Apple Support
• Deleting an app does not cancel a subscription.
• Canceling a subscription does not automatically start a refund.
