Changing the expiration can happen (e.g. from 9 to 6 months), but reminders being send 4 and 2 weeks before would be "targeted" 8 and 8.5 months as they are not adjusted. So having them set to 14 and 28 days instead and that being automatic relative to the 9 or 6 months is much better handle-able

Research direction

Start by locating the appconfig entry for reminder_days and the code that calculates expiration and sends reminders. Confirm how the current 9- or 6-month expiration is represented, then define tests showing that 14- and 28-day reminders are measured relative to the configured expiration; done means those reminders adjust automatically when the expiration duration changes.
