Session duration
The window during which a sticky session holds one address. Providers express it in minutes, in requests, or leave it undefined.
Why it costs you money
Anything requiring a login needs the address to survive the whole flow, and a session that rotates mid-checkout fails in ways that look like the target blocking you. Providers that publish a maximum are telling you what their network can hold; those that do not are worth testing before committing.
