Flux Cloud applications are subscribed for a limited period based on your initial deployment. Therefore, it is important to remember to renew your subscription to prevent your application from being kicked off the network.
Flux Cloud offers various subscription plans to cater to your preference. These plans are as follows:
1 Week, 2 Weeks, 1 Month, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year
The subscription period is determined by the Flux blockchain and its blockchain blocks. This means that the chosen period is an approximation based on the average block time of the Flux blockchain, which is 2 minutes (120 seconds).
For instance, if you choose the 1-month period plan, your app will be subscribed for 22,000 Flux blocks, which is approximately 44,000 minutes (roughly 1 month).
