Canceling a Delta flight for credit
I have a flight I'm about to cancel because the connecting cruise was canceled. RDU-LIS-BCN-RDU. I booked the ticket about 5 months ago.
I had a credit I used and pay the balance with credit card. ($596.45) When I cancel or change the ticket, will I get the total back as a credit? Or refund?
Total Price: $993.25 USDSummary of credits, fees, charges, and balance resulting from the reissue or change of an existing itinerary

It depends on the specific fare you purchased, but assuming it was a typical nonrefundable/changeable ticket, you should get a $993.25 eCredit with an expiration date the same as the original ~$400 eCredit you used.
Sometimes you get lucky and the expiration date is extended to 1 year past the purchase of the current ticket. But in either case I would not expect any refund to your credit card.

On the off chance you were flying the nonstop RDU-CDG in September like RDU-CDG-LIS or BCN-CDG-RDU, it seems that flight is about to get removed from the schedule. If DL cancels that flight, you could get a refund to your credit card Edit: Original form of payment

I thought the 12/31/2022 extensions were only for eCredits from tickets originally booked prior to a certain date (sometime in 2020 when stuff was still very fuzzy). I know I had a bunch of credits from flights booked/cancelled in March/April/May 2020 and those all extended to 12/31/22. But I also had credits from flights booked/cancelled/changed in late 2020 and those show an expiration of late 2021.
