Obviously changing schema, adding / removing published articles etc expires the snapshot, but is there anything else that would cause the publication to expire?

We're seeing a snapshot expiring without any changes to schema or data on the server.

If a snapshot is older than the subscription expiration, would that cause it to be expired?
