  You ought to be able to disable auto-renew here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades > Disable auto-renew

  WordPress.com provides a 30-day refund on all upgrades except Domain Registrations, Domain Renewals, and Guided Transfers.

  Provided you are logged in under the same username account that purchased the upgrades, you can request a refund yourself directly from the Store section of your Dashboard

  Note: It takes from 1 – 2 weeks for the refund to be received.

  P.S. I tagged this thread for a Staff follow-up re: removing the domain mapping.

  Hi there – canceling a domain after 2 days of purchase means you completely give up ownership of the domain. There is no guarantee the domain will become available to re-register after cancellation.

  You are welcome to keep your domain with us and update the name servers to point to another hosting provider by following this guide:

  After 60 days from the date of purchase or registrant contact information change, you may also transfer your domain to another registrar.

  If you would like to completely cancel your ownership of the domain name, please reply to confirm, or just let me know if you have further questions.
