Three months prior to your RA expiration PC will check your stays for the previous twelve months so if it is till end of Aug, they will look back from end of May back for twelve months, ie your stay history from June 1st last year to June 1st this year, if you satisfied the criteria you will receive automatic RA status for another year, if not you'll receive a downgrade letter. I would always suggest calling if you receive the downgrade if you believe there is any chance of renewal or just to inquire what additional stays maybe required to satisfy the criteria.
