The OP is already banned? Whats the issue in cancelling a charge you cannot use?

Google has a degree of seperation value stored on every account. Once the algorithm determines its been wronged it increases the radius so expect your household members and work colleagues accounts to be at risk when you try this.

For three generations, unless you watch re-education videos.

bullshit - canceling the authorization will have no affect on your account at all, the subscription will just end.

In Google's eyes cancelling the authorisation is robbing them because they charge in advance and they might even cop a rejected payment fee.

I agree there may be no other option, I'm just warning to be ready and prepare for the possible loss of "connected" (in Google eyes) accounts.

Definitely not bullshit. I have a friend who was banned simply for returning a Pixel phone after accidentally ordering 2. Some automated mechanism flagged it as potential fraud and nothing worked to reverse the ban. Going to the bank to block payments, remove authorization, or God forbid, do a chargeback for the money they already took after banning you is playing Russian roulette with your Google account.

It's also the only way to stop Google from stealing your money short of going to a lawyer.

The account is already banned.

The Youtube account is banned. Google can escalate things and widen the net to ban anything and everything you have in the Google ecosystem, like a Gmail account. You can see here [0] that OP still has access to the Gmail account.

It’s not clear that that is the Gmail account to be fair.

Still, you’re not going to let Google continue charging you for nothing and still keep your email with them.

Anyone who has anything like this happen to them is moving off Google products.

Do you work for Google? I’m not sure what the problem is you’re describing.
