Hi there! If you sent the customer an invoice, then when the invoice URL expires and is accessed, the customer will be directed to a recovery page.
Invoice retention time should be indefinite as far as I know with Customer Portal.
Invoices are also indefinite.
We provide some info here on expiring invoice URLs: https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/hosted-invoice-page#invoice-urls

Instead, Stripe redirects invoiced customers to a page that states that the URL has expired and to contact the merchant. This page also provides the merchant’s contact information.
Will the recovery page regenerates a link automatically?

See down below that: If you sent an invoice through the Dashboard or API, any email recipients are automatically associated with that invoice. In this case, Stripe redirects the user to a recovery page where they can enter their email address to receive a new copy of the original email with non-expired links.
So it is dependent on what type of collection_method you are using.
As long as you are using send_invoice then they will get a prompt for their email to receive a new copy

What we are trying to do is just to embed the hosted_invoice_url link on our UI.
Is customer email a required thing then?
From my current testing, seems email isn't required to generate an invoice
And auto-collect the payment when there is a payment method on file

Right that is the charge_automatically collection method
Which means they won't be prompted for the email recovery
For an expired link
