Two separate limits apply to a free Apple ID. They give different errors and have different fixes.

• Expiry: 7 days. Apps signed with a free account last 7 days and then need refreshing.
• The 3-app limit. A free account can have 3 sideloaded apps on a device at once. SideStore counts itself as one of the 3. The Sideloadly error is "This device has reached the maximum number of installed apps using a free developer profile". Fix: delete an app you do not use.
• The 10 App ID limit. A free account can create 10 App IDs per 7 days. The Sideloadly error is "Your maximum App ID limit has been reached. You may create up to 10 App IDs every 7 days." Fix: wait a few days, or use another Apple ID.

Apps with extensions can use more than one App ID. LiveContainer runs many apps under one App ID, with limits of its own (no app extensions, no remote push notifications).

A paid Apple Developer account ($99/year) removes the 3-app limit and gives a 365-day expiry, per the SideStore FAQ.

We found no source showing Apple changed these limits for iOS 27. If you see different numbers, tell us.
