The gateway sold exactly one term per proof and minted every pass for `passMinutes`. A crawler that wanted a month paid every morning, and one that wanted to pay for the month up front had no way to say so. Two ways in, one rule. `?days=N` on the sales page, or on any 402'd URL, quotes N terms at N times the price, so a standard client that pays exactly what the offer asks gets N days. And the days a proof buys are read off the value it authorizes -- a whole number of day-prices, at most `maxDays` (default 30) -- so paying three times the price buys three days however it was asked for, and a value that is not a whole number of days buys nothing before CoinPay is asked. The pass expires `days * passMinutes` after the sale; a replayed proof is bounded by its own validity plus the days it bought, as before. The money decides, not the URL: `?days=7` and a proof for two days is two days, and CoinPay is asked to verify exactly the value that was signed, against the offer for that many days. The receipt carries `days` and `minutes`; the 402 body's `pass` object carries `days`, `total`, `maxDays` and a `buyDays` template; `onSale` gets `days` and `totalCents` beside the per-day `priceCents`. The page explains it and shows the CLI line for a week. New `maxDays` option; `daysPaid` and `paidValueOf` exported.

What
A crawler could only buy one term per proof. Now
?days=Non the sales page or any gated URL quotes N terms at N times the price, and the days a proof buys are read off the value it authorizes: a whole number of day-prices, up tomaxDays(default 30).
