My experience is that if you end up paying at the hotel, it doesn't matter what that screen said, it's up to whether the person doing check-out knows what they are doing.

Like many, I have a February review date, and I have been progressing on the basis that I will be assessed based on the new rules at my review data.
I would think that you will be assessed under the new rules at your review date. They don't really have a concept of renewing status prior to your review date,
