They do send reminder emails. I've received one every year about one month prior to my renewal.

You'll retain your account benefits until your next billing period, at which point your account will be downgraded to the Basic plan.

This is so rubbish - why do they continue to charge you for the whole month when you need to be actively adding and removing users. They charge immediately for adding them, so they could immediately remove the cost of a user at the time you remove. Everyone else, frame.io (much better service), slack (slack even doesnt charge if not active so even dont need add and remove all the time). Sucks
