Both use either hours or days, depending on the unit you choose for your loan period. No renewal before works like this: Don't renew if due date - X > now. No automatic renewal after works like this: Don't renew if now >= issue date + X. For 'no renewal before' there is also a global syspref NoRenewalBeforePrecision. In general you should choose date, not exact time. To autorenew X days before due, set 'no renewal before' to X and don't specifiy 'no automatic renewal after'. Any one issue can either be autorenewed or manually renewed. It's mutually exclusive. The RENEWAL notice works with autorenewals, so you don't need the AUTO_RENEWALS notice unless you want a different text for autorenewals.

So those columns are in conflict. See bug 15581 <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15581> for explanation, reading from comment #32.

Hi folks
We seem to have a problem with automatic item renewals for a specific borrower type (in that they don't seem to be autorenewing). For this specific group we have the following circ rules: Loan period 30 ... Renewals allowed (count) 5 Renewal period 30 No renewal before 15 Automatic renewal Yes No automatic renewal after 4 ...
Our understanding is that items borrowed by this group of borrowers would autorenew 4 times (for an automatic loan period of 120 work days, with a possible further 30 days available after renewing manually. Is that not the case?
We do not have an autorenewal notice set up. Would this make a difference?
We're on version 18.05.
