Extending TTL
If your environment is approaching its TTL expiry and you need more time, you can extend it from the plan detail page — no redeployment required.
How to extend
1
Open the plan detail page
Go to Environments → click your environment → click "View Plan" on the request card.
2
Click Extend TTL
The Extend TTL button appears at the top of the plan detail when the environment is live and has a TTL set.
3
Choose additional time
Select how much more time to add: +4h, +8h, +12h, or +24h. The new expiry is calculated from the current expiry (not from now).
4
Confirm
The n8n workflow is updated with the new expiry time. The countdown on the Environments page reflects the new deadline immediately.
ℹ
You can extend a TTL multiple times. There is no maximum total duration — an environment can run indefinitely if you keep extending it (or if no TTL was set).
⚠
TTL extensions are not reversible — you can only add time, not reduce it. If you want to destroy the environment before the TTL expires, use the manual destroy option instead.
