It happened to me
But what does this guy mean this isn’t a bug I paid for my realm twice and I still don’t got realm this is clearly a bug in Minecraft like how is it our billing issue when we paid and Minecraft didnt do it’s part
I have the same issue. I paid for Realms and I still can’t get in. I even noticed that I had 2 subscriptions in my App Store. I cancelled 1 but it says it will expire in August 4.
I am experiencing what appears to be the same issue.
On July 5, 2026, my Minecraft Realm showed as expired, so I attempted to renew it on my iPhone through the Apple App Store. The purchase did not seem to activate the Realm, so I assumed it had failed.
I then tried subscribing again on my Windows PC using the same Microsoft account.
Afterward, I discovered that:
Apple charged me twice for the subscription.
Microsoft also charged my debit card.
Despite the successful payments, my Realm initially continued to show as expired and did not renew properly.
This may indicate a synchronization or billing issue between the Apple App Store and Microsoft for Realms subscriptions.
I have already contacted support regarding the duplicate charges, but I wanted to report that I experienced the same behavior as described in this issue.

Well I have the same issue. I renewed my Minecraft Realms subscription through the Apple App Store. Apple shows the subscription is active, but Minecraft still shows my Realm as expired. I know it already renewed because Apple have charged and my friends (member of the realm) can be join normally and I can join the Realm through a friend’s game too, but I can’t access it as the owner because the Realms menu only shows ‘Renew.
microsoft sent me here. i got the refunds taken care of thats not the issue. the REALM itself is not working for me and obviously a bunch of other people. you are taking our money without activating our relams and that is not okay. why would this possibly be a microsoft issue when it is happening to apple, android, pc, xbox, and playstation players? this is OBVIOUSLY a MINECRAFT issue and you need to fix it! microsoft cannot help us within the game that is your job. It is happening to multiple people across platforms and in different areas of the world therefore it is Mahjongs problem and not the platforms. ACCEPT IT AND FIX IT!
