ATPL expired
This is for EASA as I am flying in France.
Hello!
I have finished my last ATPL theoretical exams on the 1st of February 2021. I then started CPL and multi engine training but got caught up with other things and finished only about half a year ago. I then started IR-ME training but I am surely running out of time since the ATPL exam expires soon.
What are my options if there are any?

Hello Gentlemen,
Last year I did an ICAO to EASA CPL conversion and passed the ATPL exams. My ATPL Theory certificate says I have 3 years for the issue of CPL/IR (that's completed) and "7 years from the last validity date of the IR(A) entered in the CPL(A)".
Does it mean that if I keep my CPL/IR revalidated every year having a regular airline job, I have no time limitation to obtain my ATP License? The times are turbulent and I want to be prepared for the worst-case scenario.
Thanks!
