How long do Free plan projects last?

Every project you create on the Free plan comes with a trial window, meant for trying things out, not for hosting something you plan to keep long term without a paid plan.

The two stages

1. 2 days after creation, it freezes. Its editor and its published link (if it had one) both stop being reachable. Nothing is deleted yet, and you can still delete it yourself from your Dashboard at any time, frozen or not.
2. 5 days after that, it's permanently deleted. Same as deleting it yourself, see "Deleting a project," it and everything in it can't be recovered afterward.

You'll get an email when a project freezes, and another closer to the deletion date, both with a direct link to upgrade.

Plus and Creator are exempt

An active Plus or Creator subscription makes every project on your account unlimited, immediately, including ones already frozen, they unfreeze the moment your upgrade takes effect. This covers every project you own, not just the one you're currently working in.

Cancelling or downgrading

You keep the unlimited exemption for the rest of your already paid period, it doesn't end the moment you cancel. Once that period actually ends, each project's own countdown starts (or resumes, picking up from however much time it had left when you first upgraded), it never restarts from zero just because you subscribed and cancelled again, see "What happens to my projects if I downgrade or cancel?" for the full picture.

Deleting a project doesn't reset its countdown either

If you delete a Free plan project before it freezes and then create a new one, the new project doesn't get a fresh 7 day window, it picks up the remaining time from the one you deleted instead. You'll see a note about this the moment it happens, and the new project's countdown (visible on its Dashboard card) will simply be shorter than usual. This only ever applies for about a week after a delete, an older delete has no lingering effect on anything you create later.
