# When does unused budget expire?

Unused budget expires **when the budget’s end date is reached**.
Each budget has a defined **start date and end date**, and it can only be used within that period.

### How budget expiration works

* Budgets are valid **only within their configured date range**
* Once the **end date passes**, any unused amount expires
* Expired budget **cannot be used** for new campaigns
* Expired budget **cannot be reimbursed**

### Important to know

* Budget expiration dates are **set by the brand**
* Expired budget does **not roll over automatically**
* Channel Partners cannot extend or reactivate expired budgets

### How to check your budget expiry

1. Go to **My Budget**
2. Select the **brand**
3. Check the **start and end dates** shown for each budget

### What to do if you’re unsure

If you’re not sure whether a budget is about to expire:
* Review the dates in **My Budget**
* Contact your **brand or distributor representative** for confirmation
