Subscription was going to lapse in about 12 hours from now, but now have 4 days left: huh?

Title, just very confused.

I checked last night and it said it was going to expire tomorrow (being tonight of making this post), opened up Battlenet a few minutes ago and now I have “4 days” left. What in the world?

I had it previously cancelled, not knowing if I was going to be able to take care of other, more IMPORTANT bills, and now that things have gone unexpectedly well with surprise funds, renewing the monthly payment now has suddenly opened a few extra days?

What? Huh?

I know that cancelling a sub still lets you use the full month you paid for because OBVIOUSLY. I just can’t comprehend where these extra days came from. Did Blizzard give EVERYONE these extra few days because of something? I didn’t see any announcement.

Nah the BNET launcher is inaccurate, for the most up to date status check your website account panel.

Typically around renewal it may grant you some minor leeway so when there’s a delay in processing subscription you won’t get the immediate shaftening during a raid but it’s best to add asap if you’d continue then.

don’t go by the launcher, it can be off, check in account management.

Here is the Account Management link: https://account.battle.net/games

It will give you the most reliable info regarding when your sub will end.

Yeah, I should have clarified. It was “1 day” on launcher, so I went INTO account management and saw the specific time it was going to expire (11:13pm MST tonight).

If you added a subscription, Vorastrix, it is likely showing the grace period that often happens while a subscription purchase is pending. Most of the time you won’t see it, but it allows users to keep playing while that processes so as not to interrupt your game time.

It may cause you to temporarily lose posting privileges, as that only applies to gameplay, but the forums update slowly so that isn’t as common.
