Static vs. Dynamic
Most “expired” QR codes didn’t expire. A service in the middle was switched off.
Every QR code generated here is static. It will never expire because of us.
To be precise: a QR code itself has no expiry date. But if it contains a link, the code is only as good as that link — if the website goes offline or the domain lapses, the code will still scan but lead nowhere. That part is up to whoever owns the link.
