Why did you pay your bill manually when you had a DD in operation? If you have a DD in operation you shouldn't make a manual payment on or soon after your billing date. It is then too late to stop the DD being auto taken in full. Even if the DD fails the 1st time of asking it will be auto attempted again about 7 days later. Now the extra will be used as credit against your next bill. It won't show on your a/c until the next bill.
Also as you had a DD in operation It will assume it will be paid even before it is due to be paid as banks don't forget DDs unlike users making manual payments 😉 .

You could ask.
