The Byzantine Empire declined after the reign of Justinian I due to the over-stretching of the fiscal capabilities of the government. The lack of funding and the massive amount of money already spent on conquests quickly caused the immediate withdrawal of the majority of troops by his successor. However, by this time of Treasury of the Empire was already nearly empty.

How long did the byzantine empire continued after constantinople was recaptured?

The Byzantine Empire continued for just over two more decades after Constantinople was recaptured by the Ottomans in 1453. The fall of Constantinople marked the end of the Byzantine Empire, which had already been in decline for centuries. Following its capture, the remaining territories and influence of the Byzantine state gradually diminished until they were fully absorbed by the Ottoman Empire. Thus, the Byzantine Empire effectively ceased to exist shortly after its capital fell.
