Azure Expert Solution Architect exam

Question

Hi, i have the az 104 and az 900 and i am pushing for az305.

1. To get the expert azure solution architect certificate, do i need to have both 104 and 305 certificates associated with the same profile in learn.microsoft?
2. If i have taken the az 104 certificate with one profile and then i take the az305 certificate with another profile, is it possible to still get the certificate Expert Cloud Solution Architect?
3. is it 5 times that i can take the exam within 12 months ?
4. If after these 12 months my az104 expired, if i take the 305 certificate with the same profile (as az 104), do i still get the expert cloud solution architect certificate or do i need to renew the az 104 first?
