# What happens when a pass expires?

> How Uplifter expires non-renewing passes past their end date and rolls renewing ones forward.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * A pass flips to **Expired** in two cases: it's **past its end date and not set to auto-renew**, or a billed auto-renewing pass's **payment fails repeatedly** — after a few tries (3 by default, or however long your club's grace period runs) — and Uplifter suspends it.
  * An expired pass no longer discounts programs or satisfies a pass requirement.
  * The renew/expire check runs **automatically once a day**.
  * Available on plans that include **Passes** — if you don't see it, ask your Uplifter contact.
</Note>

Uplifter runs a daily check over every pass to keep statuses current. What happens to a pass depends on whether it auto-renews.

**Auto-renewing passes** (monthly and yearly) are rolled forward. The daily check extends the validity window into the next cycle rather than expiring the pass, so a renewing pass keeps covering the family without interruption.

**Passes with an end date** — a recurring pass with auto-renew turned off — are flipped to **Expired** once the current date passes that end date. Until then they keep working normally. A one-time purchased pass has no end date to reach, so it simply stays active until it's used up or your club cancels the pass.

**Failed renewals** are the other route to Expired. If a billed auto-renewing pass's payment keeps failing, Uplifter retries it (3 times by default, or across your club's grace period if one is set) and then suspends the pass — moving it to Expired even though its end date hasn't arrived.

An expired pass stops doing its two jobs: it no longer unlocks the discounted program price, and it no longer satisfies a program's pass requirement. A family whose pass has expired is quoted the next-best price they qualify for, and if a program requires a pass, they'll need a current one to register again.

Because the daily check runs once a day, a pass may show as still active for a short window right after its end date until the next run catches up.
