Threadlock Expiry?

I'm not sure if I posted this in the right section, please feel free to move it if so.

Hypothetically let say you have a heli model that you have never crashed for so many years in flying, how long could you fly it for until you need to reapply fresh threadlocker on all the bolts?

As long as you don`t loosen the screws, it should be good for quite a while. I have a TSA Infusion 600N, that I build in 2013, and the thread locker is still holding like the day it was applied.
