If they didn't contact you to renew it then that's on them.

If they did contact you and you forgot then well why do you have to renew it they should just not make it expire.

The amount of times I've had to beg the pharmacy for emergency refills of my meds because I forgot to call my doctor in order to renew them is unreal.

That's why I use Linkwarden, solves 30% of those problems most of the time.

Don't ask how many of those saved sites I really revisited....
