Does an API key expire
They can expire if you set an expiration time for the 'Validity' parameter when creating the key. There is this docs page for details on setting the Validity parameter for an API key.
Are API keys permanent
Normally, API keys are generated once, for any user, and remain the same for life.
How often should API keys be changed
It is recommended to rotate API keys every 90 days. Because of these potential risks, Google recommends using the standard authentication flow instead of API Keys. However, there are limited cases where API keys are more appropriate.
How many times can you use an API key
You can use the same API key for multiple websites, or you can generate a new key for each site. You can generate up to 100 unique API keys. Using a different API key for each site allows you to disable the key if you're no longer using it on an active website, or have stopped supporting the project.
What is API key lifetime
By default, the API key lifetime is set to 0, which means that the keys will never expire. To ensure that your keys are frequently rotated and each key is unique when regenerated, you must specify a validity period that ranges between 1—525600 minutes.
What happens when an API key expires
Expired API keys are kept for 60 days after the expiration time. You can update the key expiration time as long as the key isn't deleted.
What does expired API key mean

Do key files expire
Keys do not expire. Certificates do. Certificates are binary data.
Can a private key be lost
Since anyone in possession of a private key can impersonate its intended user, losing a private key is functionally equivalent to losing a password (as in the Yahoo breach). A private key is harder to replace than a lost password, however, so losing a private key is harder to recover from.
How long is a private key valid for
