In Adobe Experience Platform, managing theAddressable Audiencecount is critical for license compliance, especially when ingesting high volumes of top-of-funnel data via Web and Mobile SDKs.Pseudonymous TTL (Time-to-Live)is the primary architectural strategy used to automatically manage the lifecycle of profiles that lack a durable identity.

When users browse a website or app anonymously, the system creates profiles keyed off apseudonymous identifier(like an ECID). Without a management strategy, these transient profiles persist indefinitely, quickly exhausting the 5 million profile license limit. By configuring aPseudonymous TTLat the sandbox or identity level, the architect can instruct theReal-Time Customer Profileservice to automatically delete profiles that have not seen any activity within a specific timeframe (e.g., 14 or 30 days) and do not possess a "durable" identity (such as an Email or CRM ID).

Option A (Experience Event TTL) removes individual events but does not delete the profile record itself. Option B (Privacy API) is intended for one-off GDPR/CCPA requests, not automated capacity management. Option D (Datalake Storage TTL) only affects the long-term storage and not theActive Profilecount used for licensing. By implementing Option C, the architect ensures that only active or known customers occupy the 5 million slots, while stale, anonymous fragments are purged to make room for new prospects.
