Bounty expiry date?

Hi! I recently posted a bounty thread, because I wanted a pattern , but mostly because I wanted to try that forum section. Ive already read the rules, and I  know how replies work, etc etc. Ive understood that.
But I was asking myself, do these bounties expire? I mean, when you post it, you pay your gold coins. Is it any maximum date? When you reach that day, do they refund the coins if no one found the pattern? Does it just disappear?

If anyone knows something, Id be so thankful <3

Have a great day !

They stay until the bounty is answered :) I had one that I forgotten about as it was from years ago.. total surprise to get it answered after all that time.
