Play time expires message

Tonight I got a message in yellow text saying :

Your play time expires in 30 minutes. There was a countdown but nothing happened after it expired. I did go to battle.net and checked my account which showed that I was paid thru 9/29. There was no link that was given, so no chance it was anything except for battle.net that I typed in the web page. I am pretty new to WoW, just a little over 1 week played, so I had no idea how to find a GM to ask any questions, but was ready to call the toll-free number to get help if I did get booted.

If anyone has any info on why that happened, please comment. Thanks.

While this sometimes happens simply from billing not having worked it's way throughout the system - at the moment, there seems to be a known issue where this message can keep recurring.

I do apologize, I know it's annoying. It should not keep you out of the game, however, and it is being looked into.
