Absolutely, navy beans (or any other kind of beans) can spoil by soaking in water too long. I personally wouldn't soak them much longer than 24 hours, perhaps a few more hours than that. Once the beans have soaked long enough to soften, they are subject to bacteria and germs like any other soft food, and depending on how much water is left after they've been soaking, they could either germinate or rot, neither of which is desirable if you wanted to cook them.

Do cooked pinto beans sour?

Cooked pinto beans can spoil or sour if not stored properly. If left at room temperature for too long, they can develop harmful bacteria, leading to an off smell or taste. To prevent this, store cooked beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they can last for about 3 to 5 days. Always check for signs of spoilage before consuming.
