expiries
When things lapse
Expiries is the plural of expiry, the moment when something ceases to be valid or in effect.
The word appears most often in British English and in technical contexts—food expiries, contract expiries, option expiries in finance.
American English generally prefers expiration: Check the expiry dates on all the medications.
