How long Spotlight stays live
The Talk Lounge chooses the final placement type and platform. Once posted, the minimum live window depends on the placement used: Stories remain available for their normal 24 hour lifecycle; feed posts, Reels or short videos, and X or Threads posts remain live for at least 7 days; website Spotlight placements remain live for at least 30 days. TTL records posting proof and verifies the minimum live window. If a paid placement is removed early because of a TTL controlled issue, the order is moved into a make good workflow instead of being treated as fulfilled.
