That’s just how ZeusPay addresses work. They use hodl invoices to hold the funds in limbo so that you can receive when the wallet is not online, but those funds will be released back to the original sender after the specified time expires. You can’t change that in Zeus due to the way self-custodial Lightning works. You would need to run an always-on node at home in order to receive zaps without needing to claim them. That or use a custodial wallet to receive zaps.
I have my nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 Lightning ⚡️ Address set in my Nostr profile to receive #Bitcoin Lightning Tips.
But, every Zap that I receive to my Zeus wallet has a 24-hr expiration time limit and I have to manually Redeem the Zap.
Is there a way to just receive Zaps without having to always manually redeem them before they expire?
Or, am I just seeing the Redeem button and clicking it, when in reality I don’t need to Redeem at all and Zaps will just be auto-added to my Zeus wallet?

Thank you so much for the explanation and options 💪
100% what nostr:nprofile1qqs03ekxgdp0rczjfqrrpcn7zqtdec6lcwnpfesyxnl0f239qvege2gpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpr9mhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5q3gamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wdau8gu3wv3jhvgfafjn said. Running a node on the phone has certain tradeoffs. HODL invoices are one of them for dealing with the fact that your wallet has to be online and "awake" to receive, and mobile OS's aggressively kill apps in the background to save memory and battery life.
Appreciate the info 🙏
