Remaining time on accounts with recurring payments

For my accounts I PLEX them 90% of the time, however I still have my credit card on there in case I'm traveling for work and I'm not able to get on to buy a PLEX, so I don't loose training time. However it has become more annoying trying to figure out when my account will run out of payed time now that the PLEX redemption has changed and no longer tells you when your time will expire when you redeem a PLEX. I'm proposing a couple of options that I would like to see.

1) Include time remaining till next billing on the character section screen, like with PLEX only accounts it would tick down to your next billing giving you an idea how long you have before you would need to PLEX again if you wanted to.

2) Add the dialog that let you know how long your account was active for when redeeming a PLEX, I'm not sure who's idea it was to take that away, but it was a very bad one. How could giving the user more information about their account when extending the time on it have been something that was not wanted? Sound like bad usability to me.

3) Add remaining time on account to the Pilots License part of the character sheet, I'm honestly not sure why this hasn't been done already seems like something you should have easily accessible in game.

Any one of these I think would be good additions. I know I can go to the account management page to see how much time I have left, but it just seems like a bad design not to have it available in game, I'm already logged in, I'd prefer not to have to log into all my accounts on the account management page as well just to check on my time.

I've always wondered this as well.

On some of my accounts (not all of them), when I login and see the character screen there is an indicator telling me how long I have left on my Plex

This needs to be inplemented on ALL accounts, not just a few.....
