What if theres no option to cancel a subscription

See the following from https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039

If you don’t see Cancel, the subscription is already canceled and won't renew.

If you cancel a paid subscription, you can keep using the subscription until the next billing date.

Also, a subscription that is already cancelled will typically have wording in fine print similar to "Expires on [date]" rather than "Renews on [date].

If you're seeing options to renew then it's already cancelled. If the subscription shows an expiry date (not a renewal date) then it will be cancelled once the last period you paid for has elapsed.
