Hi, I'm posting this to let you know how it played out, and to also leave a final resolution in the dialogue for anyone else who might benefit.
I contacted support; they offered to send a special cancellation request to a separate team to cancel the account; after assurances that I'd not lose data, I agreed; the account was closed with an immediate stop on the account, this was a hard-immediate-cancel action, so I lost the last 6 or so days left in the month and my final subscription. When I received the support message back that the acct had been cancelled, I went in to see situation. The account went back to basic with a warning that my storage was way over the limit (I had had a 2T account, it was now something very small like 2G or whatever), seeing this was a brief shock but it was clear that the data was still there; I immediately went to manage my account, I resubscribed, paid on that day (11/24) and the charge posted to my CC same day 11/24, accomplishing what I wanted which was to get a new earlier billing date. The interesting thing was that paying annually I think it was a 14 month deal as standard, but a popup offered me if I paid immediately - accept offer - I'd get 15 months for the annual fee. I don't know what triggered the pop up other than perhaps hovering on my account page for renewal without doing anything while I was being carful to do it correctly. Bottom line, support was very helpful, and this accomplished what I needed.

I've sent the request into billing support; will post if they are able/willing to charge the account sooner than the current expiration date.
