Use the PlayStation account that purchased the membership and open Account Management > Subscription or Services. Manage recurring billing from that account on the web or console.

Check the subscription page for the renewal setting and paid-through date, then keep the confirmation. Turning off auto-renewal generally leaves access until the date shown.
