Does canceling Duolingo: Sprachen und Schach stop the charges immediately?
No. Canceling stops future renewals but you keep access until the end of the billing period you already paid for. After that date Duolingo: Sprachen und Schach will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.

Why is Duolingo: Sprachen und Schach still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows Duolingo: Sprachen und Schach as Expired), you have a second subscription under a different Apple ID or Google account, or you canceled inside the app but not in the store where billing actually lives. Cancel it in the App Store subscription settings to be sure.
How do I delete my Duolingo: Sprachen und Schach account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the Duolingo: Sprachen und Schach app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the App Store and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.

No. You keep full access to Duolingo: Sprachen und Schach until the paid period ends, so there is no benefit to waiting. Cancel as soon as you decide, and enjoy the remaining days you already paid for.
