A Checkout Session's expires_at defaults to 24 hours after creation. The parameter accepts a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of 24 hours from creation, so a session cannot be made to outlive a day, and a value further out is rejected with an invalid_request_error. When the session lapses Stripe emits checkout.session.expired, the hosted URL stops working, and any inventory reserved at creation has to be released by your own code.
Confirm by creating a session with expires_at set 48 hours ahead and reading the error. Create the session at the moment the customer clicks pay rather than embedding a stored URL in a marketing email, and subscribe to the expiry event to release holds instead of running a sweeper on a timer.
