When does the duration start: purchase or event date?
1 min read · Updated 10/18/2026
Your plan’s duration starts at creation or purchase, but no earlier than your event date. You can check the expiry date in the settings.
Enter the date straight away
Enter the date when creating your event if possible. At creation, the later of creation and the event date is used. At purchase, the later of purchase and the event date is used. Your plan’s duration is added to that.
Change the date later
Open your event → “Settings”, change the date and save your changes. See editing your event for details.
For paid plans, the expiry can move later up to and including 14 days after creation. Each adjustment can add no more than the duration stored for your plan. An already later expiry is never shortened by this adjustment. After this window, changing the event date leaves the expiry unchanged.
Demo
The 14-day window does not apply to Demo. Adding the date later can move expiry to three days after that date, capped at 365 days after creation. An already later expiry stays unchanged.
Upgrade or extension
An upgrade calculates expiry from the later of now and your event date, plus the new plan’s duration.
An extension adds days to the existing expiry. If that date has already passed, it starts from now. Only the creator of a paid event can extend it, up to three times.
Keep track of expiry
Find “Active until” under “Settings” → “Runtime”. You can also read about what happens after expiry.
