A Salesforce credential stays current only while you also pass the release-specific exams or maintenance courses Salesforce requires for it, and a recurring fee may apply after the first two.
Each retake is charged at the retake fee on the exam page (USD 100 for USD 200 exams, USD 200 for USD 400 exams, free for USD 75 foundations exams), and a failed CTA Architect Evaluation needs a 6-month wait.
