EAD Renewal - Who is responsible and when to apply

My EB2 GC case is pending and current EAD is Expiring on 8/31/2024. I have two questions: 1. I am expecting my GC to be approved soon. How late can I apply for EAD renewal to be able to be eligible for automatic extension while EAD renewal application is pending? 2. In cases with Employer Based GC application is pending; Who is responsible to pay for EAD renewal ? Employer or Employee? #EAD #EB2 #EADrenewal
