Purpose of Valid until date in AEPSegment Match capability

[UpasnaSh]

Hi,

Would anyone please help me understand what is the purpose of valid until date underAEPSegmentMatch section within segment membership when an audience is shared across their respective Experience Platform environments?

Reference documentation: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/segmentation/ui/segment-match/overview.h...

Here is an example of how a profile's segment membership looks in the receiver environment.

"segmentMembership":
   {
    "segmentMembership":
    {
        "AEPSegmentMatch":
        {
            "460b99a1-b387-4b09-bbc7-32cf4b22abd0":
            {
                "lastQualificationTime": "2024-01-29T17:13:46Z",
                "status": "realized",
                "validUntil": "2024-02-28T17:13:46Z"
            },
            "32176a24-addb-47b0-86ac-e321d436d45b":
            {
                "lastQualificationTime": "2024-01-30T17:33:34Z",
                "status": "realized",
                "validUntil": "2024-02-29T17:33:34Z"
            }
        },
        "ups":
        {
            "3b0da749-a001-4926-b37a-24c3d54bfc6e":
            {
                "status": "realized",
                "lastQualificationTime": "2024-01-29T23:48:59Z"
            }
        }
    }
}

Thanks,

Upasna

@UpasnaSh Hello!

Please see the Segment Membership Details schema field group documentation

xdm:validUntil

A timestamp of when the segment membership should no longer be assumed to be valid. For external audiences, if this field is not set, the segment membership will only be retained for 30 days from the lastQualificationTime.
