What happens to data after the end epoch in Wal framework?

Question

I was learning about the Wal frameworks writeBlob function which requires setting a start epoch and end epoch. Im curious, what happens to the stored data after the end epoch is reached? Does it get deleted automatically, or does something else happen to ensure data continuity?

When the end epoch of a blob is reached, the data is not guaranteed to remain on the Walrus network. Nodes are only paid to store the data until the end epoch, so they will likely drop the data at that point. To ensure continuity, you may need to extend the storage period through additional epochs.
