When a Mist subscription expires, the devices associated with that subscription continue to operate normally, ensuring there is no immediate disruption to network operations.

However, management capabilities through the Mist management GUI are restricted. This means that while the devices remain functional, you cannot make configuration changes, monitor, or manage them using the Mist management interface until the subscription is renewed.

This restriction emphasizes the importance of maintaining active subscriptions for full access to Mist’s management features.
