In Google Wallet, there's an "Expired passes" section 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:
It's been at least 24 hours since class.localScheduledDepartureDateTime or class.localEstimatedOrActualDepartureDateTime expired. The pass moves to "Expired passes" anytime between 24-48 hours after class.localScheduledDepartureDateTime or class.localEstimatedOrActualDepartureDateTime expires.
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.
