Did you change the ID on the existing account or did you create a new account? If the latter you cannot transfer purchases or subscriptions. You can subscribe again, or you can set up Family Sharing with yourself. If you simply changed the existing ID, the subscription should still work.


Change your Apple ID - https://support.apple.com/HT202667 - "Follow these steps to change the email address that you use as your Apple ID." Plus special instructions if your Apple ID ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com. You may also wish to turn off "Find My" before changing information and turn it on again afterward.
