Yes. Once you apply a voucher or pay for a DET test, you typically have 21 days to complete. After that credit expires.
If you do not take the DET test within this window, the waiver is forfeited.

No, individual students cannot apply directly through Duolingo. You must request a waiver through your high school counsellor, teacher, a partner university's admissions office, or an authorized NGO that supports low-income students.

No, an invalid or uncertified test result does not count toward your 3 attempt limit. This limit only applies to completed and submitted DET tests. You can book a retake immediately after receiving an invalidation notice without penalty

You must wait for your official DET results. Or an invalidation notice before booking a new slot. It takes 48 hours.
If your test was uncertified due to technical errors, you can book a retake immediately without it counting toward your limit.
