Regarding the issue of SIM card validity period

Is there an expiration date for the SIM card I activated? As far as I know, it seems that the usage period for a SIM phone number is 180 days. Is this correct?
Secondly, I would like to know if there is a way to continue using this SIM card after 180 days. Are there any methods to extend this period?
I look forward to the community's response and would appreciate it if someone could provide me with the specific rules on the EE website. Thank you very much!

@Oliver64 : It can be as long as you like as long as you keep spending money on it. It's only when you don't make a chargeable action for 179 days that it gets put into hibernation, from which you can get it released by calling CS within the next 90 days.
