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 72 hours since class.dateTime.end expired. If class.dateTime.end isn't specified, class.dateTime.start is used
instead. The pass moves to "Expired passes" anytime between 72-96 hours after class.dateTime.end or class.dateTime.start 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.
