Apple Developer Program Membership Renewal

Hi, My developer program expiration date is coming up on July 28. Now until last year, we could make the payment before one month. Now its showing that it will renew exactly on that date.

Few questions

  1. Why can't we do the payment right now?
  2. What if payment fails because of something, will our apps go down immediately?
  3. Is there a grace period?
  4. Does it take Funds from Apple ID? I have preloaded the amount now itself.

This is unnecessary trouble for us. It was good before when we could pre-pay our fees.

Regards, Nishant
