Nothing will work well until users pay. So, it's really not an optional thing. I prefer to bug them than to have them missing out on events or straight up not even loading anything.

I don’t disagree, but notifications to pay perhaps with a little less nagging? And with kindness and respect from your customers, as gentle reminders nudged along with explanations
I don't know... The user might miss all of his new posts if this payment is not being made. There is a lot of risk of losing everything here. The relay might even delete all your data due to lack of payment. We just don't know what can happen. All we know is that the relay needs payment right now.
The relay has other means to inform you. They can send notifications, they can send dms, etc. This is the last resort to get you to pay and keep your data.
Remember, this is the user's chosen relay. That relay is rejecting eventhing: new posts, likes, replies, zaps, etc. If that is the only relay (or the most stable relay), things will just disappear.
