title: "Cart expiration"
---

Rye carts are valid for **10 days** after they are first created. If a cart has not been checked out by this time, then it will not be possible to check out and you will need to create a new cart instead. Attempting to make any API operation against an expired cart will result in a [root-level](/api-reference/root-errors) `CART_EXPIRED_ERROR` being raised.
