Resolution

After maintenance expires, you will no longer be entitled to technical support, new releases, hotfixes, or security updates. The product will not stop solely because perpetual-license maintenance has expired.

The complete blocking behavior applies to subscription licenses after their final expiration, not to perpetual licenses at maintenance expiration. 

You may see a “license expired” or maintenance warning banner, but the application itself does not stop processing messages for a perpetual license whose maintenance has ended.
