## Discussion

The following table shows how this time rate affects subscriptions with various renewal periods in the testing environment:

|Subscription renewal period|Renewal time|
|---------------------------|------------|
|Weekly                     |15 minutes  |
|Monthly                    |1 hour      |
|Bimonthly                  |2 hours     |
|Quarterly                  |3 hours     |
|Semiannually               |6 hours     |
|Annually                   |12 hours    |

The sandbox environment also supports this subscription renewal rate. For more information about renewal rates in the sandbox environment, see [Test Apple In-App Purchases](https://help.apple.com/app-store-connect/#/dev7e89e149d).

The time rate also affects the billing grace period and the billing retry period in the testing environment, as the table below shows:

|Type                                                         |Time period          |
|-------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------|
|Grace period for subscriptions with a weekly renewal period  |12 minutes 51 seconds|
|Grace period for subscriptions with all other renewal periods|30 minutes           |
|Billing retry period                                         |2 hours              |
