Smart thinking....you topped up your account ahead of time. Not only did that test to make sure your payment card will work you have also guaranteed that you can't suffer an autopay failure causing your services to be suspended at 6am eastern (or 4 hours after payment is taken no earlier than 2am eastern.)
You can also easily find out if your renewal has taken place by checking for your plan amount debited from your balance in your transaction history. If you rely solely on autopay to pay for your plan you won't really know if your autopay went thru or failed until your services are suspended or you attempt a manual top up payment and it goes thru ( you cannot make a payment after 2am eastern until renewals are finished.)
You then have a 4 hour window to pay manually and reactivate and/or push your payment to be taken by the system. Paying thru 611 will do this automatically as long your available funds equal or exceed your plan amount and/or your account is not suspended via lost/stolen.
Taking a screenshot of your overview page before renewal (after a manual top up?) and after allows you to check that any text/minute/data counters have reset correctly and if not you can contact customer support immediately to remedy any glitches that may have occurred with proof in hand.
