Do transfers still expire automatically?

Transfer expiry is now best understood as a wallet transfer setting rather than the older fixed 90-second behavior.

Earlier Splitchain timing created a natural short expiry window, then the faster v197 network changes removed that fixed automatic behavior.

Newer wallet releases reintroduced expiry in a more flexible way, so a transfer can have a selected expiry time when the wallet shows that option.

What this means in practice

If you set an expiry time for a transfer, the receiver needs to accept the transfer before that time passes.

If expiry is off or set for a longer period, the transfer code can remain usable for longer.

If a transfer expires, create a new transfer instead of trying to reuse the expired code.

How to retract an unsettled transfer

If a transfer has not settled and you need to retract or replace it, create a new valid transfer that supersedes the previous one.
