What Happen to my ICloud Music Library if I cancel my membership?

I Want to cancel my Apple Music Membership a couple for a couple of months. But I'm afraid of losing all of playlists and music added to my library plus my Apple Music account.

I know that Metadata isn't supposed to be stored forever, but how long will my Apple Music library be intact before it gets deleted?

I have read somewhere that it happens after 90 days or so but I am not exactly sure. That's why I want to know it so I can subscribe again before my Apple Music account/ music library gets delete.

With Apple Music, we have rented the music, not added it to our “permanent” collections.

Canceling your Apple Music subscription means all the music you haven't specifically purchased from Apple or have acquired and loaded from elsewhere—will disappear.

Whether the metadata might survive for a few months? Donno. There are indications the profile is retained for 90 days, but I’d not bet on that.
