The fact is that only once I setup cron job I found IPN Notifications for renewal in CBSUB. And I changed strictly nothing in PayPal.
There is nothing in your answer that takes in account this fact.
The only thing I want is to understand

Setup CRON to do what? The CRON usage in CBSubs > Settings > Global is for triggering expiration.

Setup CRON to do what? 4 days ago you said :

If the plan didn't expire then it means expirations were not triggered. Within CBSubs > Settings > Global check how expirations are configured to trigger. Best approach is to run the CRON URL daily.

So its for expiration and I wonder why now you say its not for PayPal.

I never asked for documentation for CRON
The URL is given by CBSub
The parameters option=com_comprofiler, plugin=cbpaidsubscriptions and do=autopayments show clearly that its CBSub code that is called
So you should provide information about what this CBSub code is doing.

Given by CBSubs from where? That's only used for certain gateways that don't have IPNs. The gateways that require it instruct you how to use it. It is not for PayPal.

Where? In "CB Paid Subscriptions: General plugin settings".
So its not for PayPal but so what CRON were you talking about 4 days ago ?
This is the only one I found.

You're using the CRON URL under "Automated payments (this is only for use if required and supported in payment gateway and by payment service provider)". To trigger expirations from CRON you need to set "Mass expire subscriptions method" within CBSubs > Settings > Global to "Cron task and admin access (100 max/page)" then setup a CRON for the URL provided.

PayPal renewals occur when the IPN comes through. You do not need the automated payments CRON URL as it's for gateways that don't have IPNs. Regardless CBSubs validates the payment was actually made through API so it probably won't hurt anything to use it if you're unable to setup IPNs properly.

I apologize for the confusion. Forgot there was 2 CRON URLs there.
