The user experience is that data flow is not interrupted. If I get a
notification in advance, I can re-authorize before the original grant
expires. Then, on the server side, there's no need to fetch any "missed"
data from when the original grant expired.

I see this as a subscription without auto-pay -- rather than waiting for my
renewal date and pausing my subscription until I pay, it's nice if the
service notifies me that it's about to expire. As the service provider,
there's no need to interrupt the service if the user renews in time.
