AutoRenew is a parameter in /card-management/v1/ordercard
It controls whether the system automatically creates a replacement card when the current card approaches its expiry date.
It can be setup during card order /card-management/v1/ordercard, and/or controlled during card life time using /card-management/v1/autorenew

Why AutoRenew may not fit all customer workflows
Some customers use their own internal card‑management or fleet‑management systems.
In such setups:
1) Renewal cards may appear without being registered internally
If cards are renewed automatically, the customer’s system may not know that a new card exists. It is important to implement additional logic for auto-renewed cards.
2) Manual ordering + automatic renewal can overlap
If the customer orders a new card based on their own rules, and AutoRenew also creates one, the customer may receive two different cards for the same user.
3) Card lifecycle may not stay aligned across systems
The customer may treat the old card as expired and deactivate it internally, while a renewed version is already active.
4) Internal processes may rely on explicit orders
Some customers choose to track every plastic card individually.
For them, renewal only works smoothly when they control when each new card is created.
