TTL

Each payment has a Time-to-Live (TTL) in seconds associated with it. Branta will remove the payment from our system after TTL seconds from posting. Minimum TTL: 30 seconds (Requests below this range will default to 30 seconds)

Maximum TTL: 31536000 seconds (Requests above this range will default to 1 year)

Invalid TTLs will be set to 7 days.

Some common values are:

Time	ttl
15 minutes	900
60 minutes	3600
1 day	86400
7 days	604800
30 days	2592000
1 year	31536000
