Hi everyone, I maintain an app that is distributed via OTA (users of institution download it from a site, after logging in).
I have enterprise developer subscription (299€)
what happens if I forgot to renew my subscription?
I think I cannot make new .ipa files, right?
what happens to apps already on devices? will they still be working? opening, notifications etc...
what I materially need to do BEFORE subscription expires? is it enough to enable auto renewal or I need to do something on Xcode?
thanks in advance.

Hi everyoneI
I’m maintining an app that uses the Notification Service Extension entitlement (which I have never used before). The app is not published on the App Store but is delivered OTA via a website.
previous developer told me that to avoid certificate expiration issues, they started using the APNs Auth Key on the server in the past. However, I now have two certificates close to expiration on the developer profile page.
Both certificates are of the type "Apple Push Services":
The first one is named with my app's bundle ID (MyInstitution.AppName).
The second is named after the Notification Service Extension entitlement (MyInstitution.AppName.NotificationServiceExtension).
In the Key section on the developer profile page, under Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles -> Keys section, there is a key named "MyInstitution NSE."
My questions are:
What should I do with the expiring certificates now that the app is using the APNs Auth Key?
Is the Notification Service Extension entitlement working separately from the APNs Auth Key?
In the end, does something really need to be renewed? What needs to be renewed, and how?
When should I perform this operation if needed?
Do I need to create a new .ipa file and distribute it?
I have added some screenshots to be clearer (names hidden for privacy concerns):
