What Is the Validity Period Before Paying for a Renewal?

If a yearly/monthly subscription has expired and has not been renewed, the account is considered to be in arrears because of failed payment attempts or because of an overdue bill, the resource will enter a grace period. If the outstanding fees are still not paid off when the grace period ends, the resource enters a retention period. During the retention period, the resource service is suspended. If the outstanding fees are still not paid off when the retention period ends, the resource will be released and data stored on the resource will be permanently deleted.
