If a request for money is sent, does it automatically get canceled after a certain amount of time?
An email is sent if a request has been canceled by the other person, but if no email is sent and the request gets canceled, is it because it has been too long?

Hello @user810,
Welcome! Thanks for joining PayPal's Community Forum. I can understand how there could be some confusion on when a money request is cancelled. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information confirming if a money request is cancelled on its own after a specific time frame. However, whenever there's an update on any kind of transaction, the sender & receiver should be notified via email. If you didn't receive that notification, it may be because it landed in a spam / junk folder or some other error. My apologies for any inconvenience that may have caused.
I hope that clears up some of that confusion there. Best wishes on this and future transactions,
- Jon K
