Welcome to Molly v6.31.2-1
Introducing Multi-Device Support!
Now, you can install Molly on multiple devices, including Android tablets, and link them to a single account, just like Signal Desktop. ...
What do you base this assumption on? I wouldn’t expect there to be breaking protocol changes anywhere near that often, if at all. Also, if that were the case, any two weeks old version of the official client would stop working as well.
It’s not an assumption. The vanilla Signal app has code in it that disables itself after a certain period without updates. Unless they removed that from this app, then this will do the same thing.
Do you have a link to that code for Signal/Molly? First time I’m hearing of this and I’m pretty sure I’ve not updated Signal for more than two weeks in the past without any problems.
Their terms and services forbid third party clients for security reasons, and they have enforced it before. They have a bit of a point in that they can’t ensure that 3rd party applications aren’t spying on you, or more importantly other users you chat with, but that point is mooted when they refuse to document the risk of other apps, like your phone keyboard or “AI” assistant doing the same (which is already happening in some countries).
How long till they cut off access?
You will likely need to update every two weeks or it will stop working

Not just updates, you need to periodically poll for messages as well, anyone who runs signal-cli runs into these issues

Why would they do that?

The second Signal works out that this exists.
