Shared link expires for no reason #93
Description
I have been encoutering this issue with multiple code pad instances. I set the link expiry indefinitely and public, so it supposed to work without renewing the link. However, all of my students claims that the links are expired when they try to get into after sometime. Is there any restriction number to share the links or it is an general bug.

Are you logged into your account, or are you creating pads anonymously? Can you give us an example of a link that erroneously says expired?

Yes, I already logged in and creating pads publicly (I think). Every single link i have shared with my students is expired after sometime according to my students and also I have seen some links are expired when they try to enter even though i could use those "expired" links myself as owner. I needed to refresh the link every course as they were unable to enter in the pads so I didnt hold the specific links but let's say something like this (https://codepad.app/join_pad/9fi67z503t137uu1), which I get from "share" tab. This is current link so not sure if they are having the same issue. I am using codepad for 2 courses and each student claims the issue so I assume there is a bug that I can't share multiple links at the same time or general bug that expires my link after sometime if it ever existed. Thanks
