If you choose to stake in a pool that has a fixed lock time and a fixed expiry date, your tokens will be locked for the entire lock period from the day you started staking, but rewards will only be distributed until the end of the deadline.
So if you enter into a pool with a 30 day lock period and deadline 45 days later, your tokens will be locked for 30 days, accumulating rewards during this time. After the 30 day lock period, your DIO will continue to be staked and receive rewards until you decide to unstake, with a 1 day unstake period before the withdraw option appears.
If you enter a pool with a 30 day lock period, and the pool expires in 15 days, you will receive rewards for 15 days and your tokens will be locked for an additional 15 days, without receiving rewards.
It is therefore, not advised to choose a staking pool that is soon to expire, as your tokens will be locked without earning rewards, for the full duration, after the expiry period.
The good news is, more rewards can be added to the pool to extend the expiry date, and we may include functionality to enable unstaking immediately after a pool has expired to avoid tokens being locked without gaining rewards.
