Carte de sejour renewal

Hi, my wife and I obtained our temporary cartes de sejour in May 2022.  For various reasons we had to return to the USA and we may not be able to return to France (Departement Alpes Maritime) until after the date of renewal for our cartes de sejour.  Will we still be able to renew but have to pay a penalty?  Should we start the renewal process on line in any case.  Any information or advice will be helpful.

Thanks
