 Is there any way to check how many days you have left on the nostr.wine relay?

I can’t find anywhere to see my balance info … 
 DM nostr:nprofile1qqsyjx8txv4yrdcm4xn5k8wxgfmvll6e9e23q7unh2hr3te4yrj4jagpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsz9mhwden5te0vdjkcmrpwghxummnw3ezuamfdejs9l5agw with /filter balance  
 In my DMS they sent me message with letting me know when it expires. Usually when you approach close to expiration the bot sends reminder to top back up 
 message the Wino [bot]

/filter balance

or /help for all of the available options. 
 nostr.wine is pay once I believe. filter.nostr.wine and inbox.nostr.wine have recurring payments. 
 How do you figure that? 
 Because I use only the main relay and it still works, with no recurring payment. They also have payment pages to add more time for filter and inbox, but not for the main relay. I couldn't find anything that states it in their docs, but I'm sure that's the way it is. nostr:nprofile1qqsrmpp2lmx4u2fl9zmxy7fnwp9rlwxwz5a2j8tep2c376n494z2gtgpzemhxue69uhkjmnzdauzumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2qgswaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5q3wamnwvaz7tmrwfjkzarj9ehx7um5wgh8w6twv50uspzs? 
 That’s not confusing at all /s 
 Whatever. It is that way though. One time payment for the main relay, subscriptions for extras like filter and inbox relays. 
 Different pricing models for different relays is confusing and I appreciate that. We will eventually package all of them together but most of our relays (besides nostr.wine and filter.nostr.wine) are still early prototypes with pricing subject to change. 

All of our payment pages, DM reminders, and NOTIFY messages (on Amethyst) say explicitly what service requires payment. 

We offer 3 different ways to pay for any nostr.wine service: web, direct message, and NOTIFY message. The NOTIFY message is the cleanest (pops up on your client with an invoice) but is only supported by Amethyst. 

I’ll add a “Members Area” to the website where you can login and check your wrote status on nostr.wine, time balances for filter.nostr.wine and inbox.nostr.wine, sats balance for cellar.nostr.wine, and translation credits for translate.nostr.wine.

Eventually we will also let you customizable relay settings for filter.nostr.wine in the member area. 

If you want to build us a new website -  send me an estimate! Every time I try to look for designers on nostr it’s 🦗 
 You get a dm normally 14days before you need to top them up again
