I don't see the information currently in the help documents but it appears the Google Posts you make in Google My Business expires around seven days later.

Brodie Clark from Optimising shared a screen shot with me on Twitter showing an email notification he received from Google warning him a Google Post will expire soon, which was around seven days after he posts. Here is that email:

It does seem correct, as the original Google Post went offline late last week and I had to post a new one for something new to show up.
