FWIW, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this.   The network is not obliged to remember that you had a prefix after the valid lifetime of the prefix (the promise you made) has expired.   I know that you’ve heard a few people here say that you should keep this prefix for the customer pretty much forever, but I don’t think that’s the consensus.   If you keep it until the valid lifetime has expired, I think you have kept your promise.
