With a quarter retention, your /sge from June 10th is the basis for all
incrementals/levels till the July 7th full. So this full will expire a
Quarter after July 6th (which depends on the June 10th full). This means
that it will expire ~ October 6th (which will happen in a few days). So
everything is just fine and works as designed.
