In my case, 20 years. No change in API calls in that time.

Very few errors, except in the early days. I hate them because of the complexity of the solution (I needed a relationship with a separate "payment processor" that has changed names/systems/owners five times in those 20 years) but I have had few problems with withholding etc.

At the time I championed switching to Stripe. If I’d known then what I know now I’d have never done so.
