What happens to unsent messages when the grant expires
When a grant expires, all of the unsent messages are deleted. This includes any messages that were in progress, as well as any messages that were saved but not yet sent. This can be a frustrating experience for users, as they may have spent a lot of time composing a message only to have it disappear when the grant expires.
How can you tell if a message is unsent
If you’re not sure if a message has been sent, there are a few things you can check. First, look for a “sending” or “delivered” notice below the message. If you see one of those notices, the message has been sent. If you don’t see a notice, the message may not have been sent. Another way to check is to look for a timestamp next to the message. If you see a timestamp, that means the message has been sent.
Why are some messages unsent

It could also be that the person you are trying to contact is unavailable, or they may have blocked you.
