If you set passes as expired, the Google Wallet app logically groups all expired
passes under the "Passes" tab. There's an "Expired passes" section in the
Google Wallet app that contains all archived or inactive passes.
A pass is moved to the "Expired passes" section if at least one of the following
conditions is true:
When the object.validTimeInterval.end.date expires the pass moves to
"Expired passes" anytime up to 24 hours after.
The state of the object object.state field is marked as Expired,
Inactive, or Completed.
The following code sample demonstrates expiring a pass object using the Google
Wallet API.
