TPS, what happens if not extended

Hello, with all the TPS threads in Sajha focused on discussions related to TPS extension (when/if/how long) and possibility of Green card for TPS holders, I was thinking about what happens if TPS is not extended. There are obviously reasons to hopeful - National TPS Alliance has claimed to have reached an agreement with the Biden administration for 15-months extension, and the inclusion of immigration reforms in the Infrastructure Bill currently on its way to the Senate. However, we need to be skeptical as well - TPS Alliance does not mention which countries are included for extension, and there is high probability that the immigration reform won’t pass. Because of these things, while I am also hopeful for TPS extension (and maybe path to Green Card), I also want to know what happens in the possible worst case scenario if TPS is not extended - specially how long do we get to wrap up our businesses here before leaving? Do we have to leave at once or is there a prolonged grace period? Please share some links to USCIS/DHS or any other reputable sources if you know. Thanks!

Just noticed that someone posted about auto extension till the end of 2022. That is good news, but my curiosity still stands - how was the end of TPS handled for countries previously designated and not renewed!
