# Raise a renewal invoice

> Creates an UNPAID invoice, due in 7 days and billed to the service owner, covering the server and its active add-ons
for the chosen period starting at the current nextDueDate. Longer periods discount the server line (not add-ons):
3 months 2%, 6 months 4%, 12 months 8%. Doesn't move nextDueDate itself — that happens when the invoice is paid.
Needs billing access (owner or team ADMIN). Writes a RENEW_DEDICATED audit entry.
