subscription status not updating when out of term

[cloudmaster9000]

subscription that got past its "term end date"'s status remained "active", although the zuora docs say it should be "out of term"

[Yvonne]

Once the subscription is out of term, there will be no more invoice generated, but we will still keep the status as Active, our customer can then renew it if needed in the future.

but the zuora docs said:

"When a Term subscription that is not set to Auto Renew reaches its Term End Date, the subscription enters a status of Out of Term. Zuora does not automatically cancel subscriptions in this state and they will not invoice. Intervention is required to either Renew or Cancel the Out of Term subscription."

Is this documentation wrong?

Thanks

When you see a subscription that is listed as 'Active' it could indicate one of two conditions:

• Within a Term - when a subscription is still on-going
• Out of Term - when a subscription has reached the end of its term and has not yet been renewed for one reason or another.

The Active - Out of Term sub-status allows you to make a decision on whether to Renew or Cancel the subscription at this juncture.
