Child Benefit Ended, now what?

So I currently earn above the 60k threshold and we have been claiming child benefits.  I've been filling out the self assessment form like I should each year.  Our only daughter has now gone off to Uni and our last child benefit payment was back in august.  what do I do now? I am assuming...probably incorrectly, that I may be owed some tax back for the intervening period, however working out what I need to do seems super confusing? do I just need to wait until the next self assessment period.  It's just so unclear from all the things I've read what the next step is!

    You just file your 2024-25 Self Assessment return as normal.

    Which might be the last one you need to file if HICBC was the only reason you were completing a return.

    That's cool then. Do you know if that means we will get any rebate back or will that all be taken care of as part of our PAYE?
