Public bug reported:

I have an Ubuntu Pro subscription that is configured to autorenew
annually. Yet, a few weeks before the current subscription ends the pro
client and apt notifications start showing the following notification:

# CAUTION: Your Ubuntu Pro subscription will expire in 10 days.
# Renew your subscription at https://ubuntu.com/pro/dashboard to ensure
# continued security coverage for your applications.

This is confusing because when autorenewal is enabled the expectation is
that the renewal should be a seamless process that ensures continued
coverage. It also creates uncertainty as to whether the autorenewal is
correctly configured. Instead, the client and apt notifications should
display a different message when autorenewal is enabled to indicate that
the subscription will renew, e.g. something like:

# NOTICE: Your annual Ubuntu Pro subscription will renew automatically on DATE.
# You can check your subscription status at https://ubuntu.com/pro/dashboard

Another suggestion is to process the autorenewal before the expiration
date (e.g. 1 or 2 weeks prior). This would provide some safety net for
payment processing errors (e.g. due to an expired credit card) and help
to ensure continued coverage.
