I ordered a auto-renew product, After 5 minutes ,it become expired!
I think in Sandbox 5 minutes is equal to 1 month,
At the end of current subscription peroid(after 5 minutes), it should't be auto-renewed? but it become expired.

During the 24-hour period before the subscription expires, the App Store starts trying to renew it automatically. The App Store makes several attempts to automatically renew the subscription over a period of time but eventually stops if there are too many failed attempts.
When a subscription ends, it is considered expired. When a customer elects to end their subscription at the next bill date or term end, this is called canceling the subscription.
If your Apple Developer Program membership expires, your apps will no longer be available for download and you won't be able to submit new apps or updates. You'll lose access to prerelease software, Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, and TSIs.
In the sandbox environment, auto renewable subscriptions are much shorter than the actual time. From this answer:
Actual duration Sandbox duration
1 week 3 minutes
1 month 5 minutes
2 months 10 minutes
3 months 15 minutes
6 months 30 minutes
1 year 1 hour
And although this fact is not documented, according to some developers in Apple's developer forum (and my own experience), subscription will renew 5 times before you get 21006 error (subscription expired error). So if you have a 1 month subscription, it will be renewed every 5 minutes for 25 minutes. Don't rely on this fact though, as it's not officially documented and might change anytime.

This is my experience as well. Auto-renewing in the sandbox environment is inconsistent. On some occasions I've seen a sandbox subscription auto-renew about 5 times before ending. But on other occasions it doesn't auto-renew at all. I assume these problems don't exist in the production environment.
