Seems a bit ridiculous that you waited so long to renew. I know from experience that they send that email far enough in advance that, if you did experience problems, there would've been time to fix. Also, you posted a "Tell HN" headline that's pretty linkbait/scandalous. It's misleading in that, the way it is written is intentionally designed to be shocking and make someone click your link. The details could really be boiled down to, "Developer waits until the last day to try to renew, a problem occurs during checkout, and Apple support is not open during the weekend. Developer must wait until Tuesday since Monday is a US holiday." If you'd posted an "Ask HN:" that's one thing but a "Tell HN:" is another. You aren't new here - you know the difference between the two. The Ask is for help, the Tell is for rants or, well, telling about something {good|bad|hacks|exploits|flaws|etc}. Sorry for your trouble, but unless you tell us otherwise, this just seems to be the result of your procrastination, not "Apple pulled my apps and I did nothing wrong!"
