They don't expire. They last forever. The longer you wait the worse it gets, plus you run the risk of being hauled away to jail the next time you come into contact with the police. Hire a criminal defense attorney to help you resolve this as soon as possible.

Most words, which are issued after the prosecution has commenced, have a very long expiration date, if they expire at all. The exact statute of limitations on your particular warrant cannot be determined with the facts provided in your question. The reality is that most probably are going to be picked up some time before it has expired and will have to answer to the charges. Skipping out does not work, especially in the electronic age.

Usually forever. In the past there was often a 5 year limit, but that was a policy from prior to the ease of computers get some bond money together, get clean, do some drug classes somewhere, come back to the program voluntarily with proof of efforts in hand - it will make the landing better.
