You can find out when that is by checking the billing details in your account.
If you don’t resubscribe within 10 months, your account is closed. You’ll lose your profile, watch list, watch history, and everything that allows Netflix to customize recommendations that match your viewing preferences.

Netflix’s ad-supported tier is $7 per month, which is cheaper than Hulu, Disney+, and HBO Max. It only supports 1080p resolution and sets a precedent of cutting features while introducing commercials. The company also axed its basic tier.
Only three options are available for subscribers: the ad-supported option, the Standard tier, for $15.5 per month, and the Premium plan, for $23 per month. The Premium plan is the only option that allows subscribers to watch content in 4K. It’s also the only tier that grants access to Netflix’s spatial audio, its technology that emulates surround sound without requiring additional hardware.
