Do you have to pay to get a sandbox refresh?

&gt;*AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):*
Based on the conversations provided, it appears that you do not have to pay to get a sandbox refresh in NetSuite. However, if you initiate a sandbox refresh and do not activate it, it will expire and you will lose the refresh from a billing perspective. This means if you are licensed for a certain number of refreshes, you will not get it back if you do not activate a refresh you initiated. 

Also, it's worth noting that a sandbox is typically updated some time after the production environment is updated, unless you pay for more than one sandbox. In that case, one sandbox can be set as a "leading" update, which is done before the production update.
