关于OpenMapTiles购买数据14天可用期限的技术咨询

Hey Diego,

Great question—this is a super common point of confusion with custom geospatial data downloads, so let’s break this down clearly:

What the 14-day notice actually means #

The message you saw:

List of created dataset. These extracts are available for 14 days.

refers only to the download links and temporary storage of your custom data files on OpenMaptiles' servers, not to the usage rights of the data once you’ve downloaded it.

Why this is standard practice #

Platforms like this don’t keep custom data extracts hosted indefinitely—they clear out temporary files to save server space after a set window (14 days here). Once you’ve successfully downloaded the satellite imagery and hillshade terrain data to your local system, server, or offline storage, you retain full permanent offline access to that specific version of the data (exactly as you initially expected, excluding any future updates from OpenMaptiles).

Next steps for your project #

• If you haven’t downloaded the files yet, make sure to grab them before the 14-day window expires.
• If you already have the data saved locally, you’re all set—your project’s timeline exceeding 14 days won’t impact your ability to use the data.
• For absolute peace of mind, double-check the license terms you agreed to during purchase (they should explicitly state permanent offline usage rights for the purchased extract) or reach out to OpenMaptiles’ support team to confirm.
