Rebrandly links have no built-in expiration date and can function indefinitely as long as certain conditions are met. Your links will continue redirecting users to their destination URLs if you maintain an active Rebrandly account in good standing. Your existing links will remain functional even if you downgrade from a paid subscription to a free plan.
However, there are a few important factors that can affect link longevity.
- If your Rebrandly account gets suspended, your links will stop working and show 404 errors.
- For links using custom domains, you must keep your domain registration current through annual renewals to prevent link breakage.
- You can manually delete any links you've created, permanently disabling their redirects.

Sometimes I use a short-link to send to someone and they only need it for a week. Will Rebrandly offer the ability for us to set a timer in the settings of each link if we want it to be deleted after a certain number of days?
Hi David, there are two ways to get that with Rebrandly:
1) The Auto Expiry feature - currently available only for extended workspaces in the enterprise version and useful especially if you need to create/manage many links via API
2) Using the link routing rule (available with paid plans) to direct the user to an alternative destination URL after a specific date.
