<p dir="auto">Those are common - leases normally don't start to renew until 50% done.  But as the client gets closer and closer to lease expire, it should start screaming for a renew.. Sending them more and more often.</p>
<p dir="auto">Once a renew fails - it should send a discover..</p>
<p dir="auto">I would watch your logs the next time it happens and look right away, set your log to keep more in the gu.. I think it defaults to only the last 50 entries.  I have mine set at 2000.. This should allow you to see more entries.</p>
