QR code expiration depends on the type. Static QR codes never expire because data is embedded directly. Dynamic QR codes can expire if the redirect service stops or the subscription lapses.
Static codes are permanent — the data is in the pattern itself. Dynamic codes depend on the redirect server being active. If the server URL stops responding (subscription ends, service shuts down), the QR code becomes non-functional. On useqraft, free QR codes expire after 30 days; Pro QR codes are permanent.
