shelf-life
Usability time limit
Shelf-life is how long a product remains usable or fresh before deteriorating.
Food has a shelf-life before spoiling; batteries have one before losing charge.
Figuratively, ideas, trends, or celebrities have a shelf-life—a period of relevance before fading: That meme had a shelf-life of about two weeks.
