Do I retain my domain renewal (2 years) if I transfer from my existing CF to another CF account?
Hi, I've renewed my domain for 2 years and am using CloudFlare as my registrar. I would like to move my domain from my one CloudFlare account to a different CloudFlare account. I found the link below to do this. I would like to know if I've renewed my domain for 2 years and transferred it, will it still be renewed for 2 years after transfer on the new account or will I need to re-renew for 2 years again?

If your domain is registered on Cloudflare, you cannot just move it between accounts sadly. You'll have to move it to a different registrar first, then to the other cloudflare account.
To answer your question: in general you keep any years you've already paid for when transferring, but you'll have to pay for an additional year at the new registrar. There are some tld with special limitations, and it doesn't work if you have over 10 years of renewal already.
Thanks @zegevlier, I appreciate your feedback
