Why won’t QR Codes ever run out of existence?

Like won’t all the possible configurations get used at some point of time or do they get recycled?

QR codes are not random unique codes, rather, they are encoded bit data. Specific patterns mean different things.

So when you scan a code and get a url, its cause the QR code literally spells out said url

So they don’t run out in the same way that the alphabet doesn’t “run out”, its just a different way of writing things down, that is more readable to computers.

If you have a manual and enough time, you could probably decode them yourself
