i just bought a 30 day subscription over steam and i cant find out if its a recurring subscription

is there anyway i can see that?

Go to your Steam application and click your name in the top right corner, where the minimize button is located.

This will show you a drop-down menu - you want to click on "account details".

Here you can see your purchase history which includes any subscriptions you have bought through the "manage subscriptions" option.

If there is no active subscription for SWTOR, that means it is non-renewing.
