DID_RENEW notification with cancellation_date field completed

Hello,

We have a few FAMILY_SHARED subscriptions which received a DID_RENEW notification, with all the cancellation fields completed, the expiration date in the future and no pending_renewal_info array in it.

We are not sure why did we get the DID_RENEW notification with the cancelation details, shouldn't we get a REVOKE notification?

We found this in the Apple documentation: The pending_renewal_info array is returned only for app receipts that contain auto-renewable subscriptions. If customers voluntarily cancel a subscription renewal while in the grace period, the App Store pauses billing retry, and removes the transaction from pending_renewal_info. The subscription is in the grace period if the key grace_period_expires_date_ms is present and the expiration date hasn't passed.

We do not handle any cancelation related logic for the DID_RENEW notification. Should we adjust the logic for this scenario or there should be a different notification type sent out.

This is how the latest element looks like from the lattest_recipt_info:

Hello David-Garmin. When was the last time you saw this behavior?
