+When your subscription or trial expires, GitLab does not delete your data, however, depending on the tier and feature, it may become inaccessible. Please note that some features may not behave as expected if a graceful fallback is not currently implemented, such as [environment specific variables not being passed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/52825).
