### 2. Find your email lists, and turn on the Decay Protection switch for those you want to set for a custom Decay Protection
### 3. Once you turned on the switch, click "Change interval" next to it
### 4. Select a schedule from the dropdown menu and click on "Save Decay Protection settings"
**Note:** Every option has a different time for running the corresponding flossing session:
- **Weekly:**
- runs every Sunday.
- **Twice a month:**
- runs every 1 and 15 of the month.
- **Monthly:**
- default, runs before the end of your billing cycle.
- **Once every two/three/six months:**
- runs after the indicated schedule before the end of your billing cycle.
## Important note:
Once you select a custom option for a specific list, the **Decay Protection** switch in the **Schedule** tab will appear as turned off. This is completely normal, as this one works for setting a schedule for flossing all the email lists in your account, and you're now selecting a customized schedule for individual lists.
