The link duration setting
How long a member's Steam link stays valid before re-linking is required.
Premium feature. Open Settings, then the Steam Linking Settings group, then Steam Linking Duration.
This sets how many days a member's Steam-to-Discord link stays valid before they have to link again.

Until your server has premium, this field is disabled with the reason "Steam linking is not configured for this server".
What the duration means
When a member links their Steam account, the time of the link is saved. Once the set number of days has passed since that time:
The next time the member tries to open an option that requires Steam, the bot treats them as not linked.
They must link again before the ticket can open.
The count starts from the time the member first linked, not from the last time they used the link. A member who linked on day 0 with a 30-day duration is asked to link again on day 30, no matter how recently they were active.
Why set a duration
Members sometimes switch Steam accounts, so an old link can become out of date.
Linking again from time to time reduces the impact of a compromised account.
Some communities prefer not to keep links indefinitely.
Picking a duration

Communities that want frequent re-checks

Most servers
90
Communities that use the Steam ID mainly for convenience
365
Communities with stable membership
There is no permanent option. The minimum is 1 day and the maximum is 365.
Re-linking before the duration ends
A member can re-link sooner by running /unlinksteam to clear their current link, then opening any option that requires Steam, which starts the link flow again.
A server manager (the owner, or someone with Administrator or Manage Server) can also unlink a member from the dashboard Steam Linking page, using the Unlink button next to the entry.
