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 sinceclass.dateTime.endexpired. Ifclass.dateTime.endisn't specified,class.dateTime.startis used
instead. The pass moves to "Expired passes" anytime between 72-96 hours afterclass.dateTime.endorclass.dateTime.startexpires.
When theobject.validTimeInterval.end.date expiresthe pass moves to "Expired passes" anytime up to 24 hours after.
The state of the objectobject.statefield is marked asExpired,Inactive, orCompleted.
The following code sample demonstrates expiring a pass object using the Google
Wallet API.
