Apple support has been useless on this question, so posting here in hopes someone else has done it before.

Years ago, I purchased a Family subscription to Apple Music through my Apple ID that was shared through our iCloud family. About a month ago, my mom realized that our family cell plan had an offer that allowed us to purchase Apple One Premier at a discounted price so that we could bundle several Apple services we use, including Music, for a lower monthly price. I cancelled the standalone Apple Music family subscription through my Apple ID and my mom purchased Apple One Premier on her Apple ID, intending for it to replace the standalone Music subscription at the end of the payment term for the whole family.

However, I just received a notification that my playlists would be deleted tomorrow when the subscription ends. I want to avoid this at all costs and hope for some clarification on how the new subscription will work and whether it will replace the cancelled standalone subscription starting tomorrow without disrupting my existing library.

My mom has no such warning, since she has the Apple One subscription. Because it’s the Premier level, it should share all the included services with our family – and it does, on things like Apple News+. But it’s as if my Apple ID doesn’t recognize the Apple One subscription over my existing Music subscription that expires tomorrow, and I don’t know if it’s going to properly replace it or if I’ll lose everything.
