Abstract: In this paper, we consider the effect of Landau levels on the decay of superhigh magnetic fields of magnetars. Applying ${}^3{P}_2$ anisotropic neutron superfluid theory yield a second-order differential equation for a superhigh magnetic field $B$ and its evolutionary timescale $t$. The superhigh magnetic fields may evolve on timescales $sim(10^6-10^7)$ yrs for common magnetars. According to our model, the activity of a magnetar may originate from instability caused by the high electron Fermi energy.
