graceperiod

Student: Hi. I noticed that my account has been charged for late payment. As I know, the grace period for this semester [expire/due??] in 3 days.

Clerk: Let me check the system. Yes, you have been charged a late fee.

Student: But I'm still within the grace period

Clerk: The system is right. You can deliberately use the grace period

Please check for correctness and naturalness.
Thanks

I don't understand the use of 'deliberately'. [My son deliberately slapped his sister, I deliberately exceded the speed limit because I was late, we deliberately did not invite them to the party....these all have a somewhat negative feeling with them.]

My apologies. It should be "You can't deliberately use the grace period".


By the way, could you provide me with a couple of sentences to mean "within grace period". Goes for another X days is a good one. Any else?
