Why are most Bitcoin payment invoices time limited ?

Most bitcoin payment gateways issue time-limited payment invoices. Why is that ? AFAIK, the address stays valid even after the timer is out. For instance when sending a transaction from wallet to wallet, even if I send to that address after the 15 minutes, the recipient still gets their money. I have tried this with at least 3 wallets. In this case, what's the timer for in the first place if the address is still linked to that user ?

Thanks.

New z-enemy 1.26 Nvidia GPU Miner With Improved Performance The latest z-enemy 1.26 Nvidia GPU miner comes with additional performance boost in a number of the supported crypto algorithms as well as improved stability. We should note that the latest version also marks the removal of support for the Renesis algorithm, apparently due to the project introducing this algorithm getting abandoned. The new version adds up to +5-7% for X16r and X16s, +7% for Bitcore, few percent for other algorithms such as X17, C11, Aergo … on GTX 10×0 cards. The Hex algorithm gets +10% for GTX 10×0 cards and +2% for RTX 20×0 GPUs as a hashrate boost. The latest z-enemy version 1.26 is available for CUDA 9.1, 9.2 and 10.0 for 64-bit Windows versions as well as CUDA 9.0, CUDA 9.1, CUDA 9.2 and CUDA 10 binaries for Linux (HiveOS, PiMP OS, EthOS & Ubuntu). Make sure that you have the respective recent video driver version installed for the CUDA version you want to use – 388+ for 9.1, 397+ for 9.2 and 411+ ...
