I think this is the answer, but now that I know that a one-off payment is for perpetual membership of the group I realise that the question is not something I needed to ask in the first place. For some reason I had thought that group membership after a one-off payment would expire after a year when sold alongside an annual subscription, but obviously that’s not how it works 🙂
