They could just provide the facts: your connection is not protected by the VPN. The scaremongering is just marketing for the next renewal.
Even better..."not connected".
Being on a VPN doesn't mean your connection is protected, necessarily.
That could theoretically be misconstrued by some users as meaning "not connected" to any network, though. And explaining it might be a little wordy for a notification. Maybe "VPN disconnected" or something.
True. Users are able to misconstrue things well beyond my imagination
Half of all people are dumber than average, yes.
That's no fun
