Kütahia was a renewable agreement, not a permanent treaty

Evidence

It is important to note, however, that the “peace of Kütahia” was not a permanent settlement, it was not a peace treaty but an agreement between Mahmud II and Mehmed Ali to end the state of war that had existed between them for over a year. Rather than finding his position more secure than before the campaign had started, the Pasha soon discovered that his osensibly improved status was dependent on an annual renewal by the Sultan, and was thus subject to his whims and to the intrigues of various courtiers in Istanbul. — Khaled Fahmy, All the Pasha_s Men_ Mehmed Ali, his…, 252
