I’m not in the inner circle, so take what I say as my opinion only. Hopefully, an Admin will be along to comment more authoritatively.

The renewal system has never been a great one. In the past, I can remember notices going out even later. :eek:

This is one of the worst features of the Board. I don’t know if it will ever be remedied.

Just be thankful you weren’t impacted.  
On the plus side, **tubadiva** has quite often been able to overide the system and make sure people aren’t penalized when these things happen, even after their subscription expired.
