Channel extension

Extending Channel Duration

For a channel to remain active and functional, timely extension is key. Initially, upon creation, every channel enters a Trial mode, which lasts for 5 days. Post-Trial, the channel ceases to operate unless extended.

To facilitate this, a specific method exists that allows days to be transferred from an account's balance to the channel. For instance, adding 30 days extends the channel's active period by a month, ensuring uninterrupted service up to the extended date.

Some of our partners opt to charge daily for the service, automating channel extensions day by day to match their billing cycle.

The channel will run until the date you extend the channel to
