Subscription Lapsed and I Need Lost Videos
My subscription, which I thought was auto-renewing, expired with no notice. I didn't realize it until 2 days after my recordings stopped saving to the cloud. I've immediately re-subscribed, but in the 2 days that it was down there's a video I need. Is there any way to recover that? I'm frustrated because had I received an email saying it was expiring I would have taken care of it immediately and would not have lost this important footage.

Hi @terrapin22. To add to what Chelsea has said, there is not a way to restore deleted videos. Once the videos are deleted, they are gone. This Help Center article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001834066) will show you how to download videos in the event you find a video you would like to save.

I have had the same problem. My credit expired and before I noticed all the footage was gone. It did take three weeks but I was traveling and my phone got damaged and I could not log back with my new phone until I got back to my computer (given security requirements). It seems like a month grace period should be built into the product. Now I left feeling like I should replace this entire system because I can't trust that this type of thing will not just happen again.

Has this now been changed? I have an expired subscription and videos from 2 days ago in my event history that I want to view but that I can not access. I will renew subscription if that means I will be able to access the videos from 2 days ago.

No incentive to renew I guess. Missed opportunity on Ring's behalf to get the people who don't tend to keep a subscription, to renew when they have something valuable they need access to. All it would take is keep a rolling list of recordings for a few days or a week and make them available if you subscribe/renew for a year.

Has this changed at all in the last year? Because I'm in the same boat as holiday joe right now, and it would be really really handy if I could access video from a 2 day lapse.
