FAQ

Live Activities on iOS are designed for timely, glanceable updates rather than permanent countdowns. A Live Activity can be active for up to eight hours before iOS automatically ends it and removes it from the Dynamic Island.

Because of that system limit, Timely only displays a countdown Live Activity during its final eight hours. That keeps the Live Activity focused on the window where iOS can keep it alive for the full remaining countdown.

Timely Plus is built to start those countdown Live Activities automatically when a countdown enters its final eight hours, so you do not have to remember to start one manually.
