Unfortunately, if your Azure certifications have expired, you will not be able to take the renewal assessment for free. The only way to renew an expired certification is to retake the required exam(s) to earn the certification again. The renewal assessments are only available for certifications that are still valid and can be renewed within the specified timeframe, which opens six months before expiration. Since your certifications are already expired, you will need to pass the necessary exams to regain your certification status.

    this is pathetic. I wasn't aware if you don't give a reassessment your certifications expire
