Hashicorp renewal exam

I received an alert for renewing my certificate for hashicorp.
Hello Prasant,

Your HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate (002) certification will expire in approximately 1 month on Sep 29, 2024.

If you have already recertified by passing the Terraform Associate 003 exam, congratulations! You can disregard the rest of this message.

If you haven’t recertified yet, take and pass the new [Terraform Associate 003]

Is it worth rushing to complete it in September 29th or it will be same exam and fee even if I schedule it on December 15

Please ignore the above question. Received a response from hashicorp suggesting -
Yes, the exam content and the exam fee will be the same whether you plan to take your exam on September 29 or December 15.

I do not know what is point of using renewal in reminder email if is not a renwal
