Yes. HBO Max rebranded to Max in May 2023 when Warner Bros. Discovery merged it with Discovery+ content. As of 2025 the service was renamed back to HBO Max — same app, same logins. Use play.max.com for account management.
No, not directly. If Max is a Prime Channel add-on, cancel via amazon.com/yourmemberships. If it's a Hulu add-on, manage it under hulu.com/account. Cancelling on play.max.com only works for direct Max subscriptions.
Max doesn't issue prorated refunds. Cancel just before your next billing date to keep as much usage as possible.
Max doesn't offer an official pause feature. The closest equivalent is cancelling and resubscribing later — your account data persists, so you can pick up where you left off.
Never forget to cancel again. SubTracker sends renewal reminders, tracks your spending, and includes 600+ step-by-step cancel guides — all 100% private on your device.
