Not this time, it's completely expected that if you cancel a free trial that you're not interested and don't want it. It is not at all the same as cancelling a subscription that will ride out until the end of the period.
If you're automatically charged when the free trial ends then you should absolutely be allowed to cancel a free trial so that you're not charged and keep using it until the last day it was offered to you.
