No, this compressed gas has a long, long shelf life. But the cylinder it is smooshed into has a code date on it. Under nominal storage conditions, it should last decades, but corrosion can affect the cylinder or the valve. And should the tank be emptied, it cannot be refilled if the cylinder's "useful life" has passed. It will have to be hydrostatically tested and recertified. We know that nitrous oxide (N2O) is pretty stable stuff under nominal conditions. It stays the way it is when it is bottled up.
