Is preview build has a expire date?

So I am on the beta channel build: 26120.3360 ge_release and also have queued to get unenrolled from WIP, but I am reluctant to download every insider preview until I get on the current build if it is not required. So, how long until I absolutely have to install the new preview build?

    Let the computer update like normal. Your PC will be automatically unenrolled when the next version releases, likely later this year with 25H2.

    Since you've opted to unenroll from the Windows Insider Program (WIP), your system will remain on the current build until the next major public release of Windows 11, expected later this year with version 25H2. At that point, your device will automatically receive the stable release updates, and you'll no longer receive Insider Preview builds.

    Therefore, you are not required to install new Insider Preview builds before the next public release. However, if you wish to receive the latest features and updates before then, you can continue to install new preview builds as they become available.
