Star membership question

I renewed my star membership in February in order to have hearts to give out. The star membership is good for one year.

So why have I received two messages today telling me about the benefits of a star membership and asking me to either become a star member or to renew membership?

I know that there is a fund drive going on now, so do those messages mean that if I don't contribute to the fund drive, my star membership will be dropped now after only 6 months?

Am I wrong in thinking that the purchase of the hearts in February renewed my membership?

Last summer, I contributed to the fund drive. Then in February, I bought hearts. I thought that the hearts purchase reset my one year membership, to be due again in February of 2024.

Now I am confused about where I stand.

page. Then click the “Star Membership” tab, and you will see when your membership expires.

I just checked and it says that my current membership is good until February 15, 2024.

So the messages that I am getting are apparently fundraising ones, although they don't say that.

fundraising messages, although they did not say that's what they were.

After checking My Account, I noted that my star membership is not due for renewal until Feb, 2024.
