The iCloud subscription was not past due. [1]
It's possible that the card was maxed out and payments for the subscription failed, maybe? I caught mine before that happened.

I manually pay my electric and gas. I can skip if for a month (or two) and not a problem. Except sometimes (once)..
I have no idea why. I feel its just some random thing depending on who's running the dept that day.
We experienced the same thing in College when after paying our electric bill for two months, they shut our power off without notice. Upon digging it was because we were still listed as "Residents" on the bills we were paying.
Perhaps it’s a new policy though which would explain the difference.
Your expectation that a policy or rule would be enforced evenly across the organization..
I think at this point it is clear that Big Tech do not have any policy, rule or terms of service that is enforced with anything that could be reasonably be considered "uniform"
There are a lot of places in tech where human opinion is interjected introducing variability, but I doubt this is one of them.
