(Source: data gathered from Barter, if you visit each bundle page, you'll see a table of games with a little icon ⏰ for games with expiration date)

Updated main post. I adopted the table style of ormax3's post for the most part, but I changed the order a bit and double-checked some dates.

Thanks for the update. OP is updated and the sheet as well.

On Barter, you can see all the items with the "activation deadline" tag here: https://barter.vg/notices/402
The list there could be improved by adding the actual deadline, and the platform (as they're mixed Steam / GOG / Epic items). Unfortunately I don't think there are enough resources to implement these changes at the moment, but at least you can see easily everything that gets tracked.
Notices about future expiry dates are also posted in the appropriate channel on the Barter Discord, but it's difficult to see them as that channel gathers all notification types, not only the activation deadlines. This is how it looks like:

That's handy. Thanks for sharing.
I am not sure if I will add free game giveaways expiring since those typically have a clear expiry date. I can if people want, but I think I will run out of room in the OP if I list everything, especially from bundles where everything should expire like Jingle Jam.
Comment has been collapsed.
From Jingle Jam, roughly half of the keys expire, some of these sooner than later. I will be tracking them in a giant table in my thread anyway, like I did for the previous years.
The free games are somewhat useful to track. Fanatical has been doing several giveaways lately, they threaten with expiration dates but so far none were invalidated.
Amazon Prime keys are also somewhat useful to track, as they usually have a pretty short validity. They also have two deadlines: one date for claiming them, another date for expiry.
I think what would be more important to track is whether the keys still work or not AFTER they meet their announced deadline.

Is there a tool to generate Steamgifts tables that you use? I have made a Google sheet for now with more info and will add your ideas there, but retyping everything into Steamgifts is a pain.

Fallout 76 code for me expires February 29th. Fallout 1 is the correct date of March 5th.

Updated list for HiFi Rush in Humble May Choice 2024 and crossed out old expired games. Let me know if the keys still work for any of these expired ones and I'll update the spreadsheet.

Upcoming deadline added to main post for Town of Salem. Check you've redeemed your key from the Humble microJUMBO bundle in 2017 or from Humble Monthly September 2016.

Same for Town of Salem keys from Humble Monthly September 2016.

You need to add Remnant II from Humble Choice (October 2024) that expires on November 4th, 2025.
Do you want to add a "Retroactive" column too, which indicates that some keys were given a retroactive expiration i.e. were not marketed with an expiration date? I know that most of the keys that already expired were given a retroactive expiration date.
Thanks for compiling this list.
Comment has been collapsed.
I can add a retroactive column if people want, but I would need to confirm if that was the case for each game or like with some GOG keys, Humble may not have realized there seems to always be at least a 10-year expiration date. I tried to gift a copy of Defender's Quest on GOG from Humble and had it come back as expired due to this.
Comment has been collapsed.
The expiration was retroactively added for Doom Eternal, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Deathloop (all Bethesda games), and Town of Salem.
https://reddit.com/r/GameDealsMeta/comments/17v1bla/humble_choice_added_expiration_dates_for_some
There was also conflicting information about whether the keys themselves expire, or just the functionality of revealing them, but at least one person has confirmed that the keys expire and can't be activated after the expiration date, despite the Humble Bundle key expiration notice email claiming otherwise.
Deathloop Key Expiration Email
Doom Eternal Key Redemption Page
All of the other keys had clearly defined expiration notices prior to purchasing the associated bundles (someone can correct me if I'm wrong):
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/1sBDP/humble-adding-expiration-dates-without-notice#7mxAXfq
I think you're right that it's safe to assume almost all GOG keys expire about 10 years from the date when the bundle was active (not when the key is revealed), unless otherwise stated.
The fact that Humble Bundle doesn't list GOG keys as expiring has me wondering if they know/care to find out about whether the keys that publishers are giving them actually expire (hence why they agreed to add retroactive expiration dates to some of the keys). Humble Bundle's terms of service allows them to revoke access to any products at their discretion, so it wouldn't surprise me if they just don't care enough to find out/disclose it.
I wonder if that's even legal in the EU, given their strong consumer protection laws.

Does anyone know when these Humble Bundle GOG games expire?
Strate-GOG
Deck Builder Bundle
Stand With Ukraine Bundle
Comment has been collapsed.
I bought the Stand with Ukraine bundle and took a look for you. My Liberated key is used already apparently so I can't see the expiration date but when I try to redeem Wanderlust, it tells me "Code expires on Mar 20, 2032, 6:00 PM." There is no red text on the HB page to indicate it will expire soon at least.
Comment has been collapsed.
All GOG codes expire within 10 years, I believe. That may be why there is no text.
Will update list tomorrow. I am not at my PC at the moment (writing from phone).
Comment has been collapsed.
If someone sees this and is still able to redeem Town of Salem after the deadline passes, let me know. Otherwise, I will mark it as not able to be redeemed in a couple of days.

Does anyone know which exact email Humble Bundle sends normal/retroactive key expiration notices from? I think those emails are going to my junk.
Comment has been collapsed.
from: Humble Bundle contact@mailer.humblebundle.com
reply-to: contact@humblebundle.com
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks. It's kind of crazy that Humble Bundle sends important notices from the same email that distributes all of their marketing material.
Comment has been collapsed.
I have updated the post and the google sheet.
By the way, if anyone ever comes to this topic with supposedly expired keys, please try them and let me know if they are still redeemable. I do not know for sure when keys actually expire. Sometime keys say they expired but will still redeem.

Hello, I just wanted to share a list of games that are expiring soon. I do not know all of them, but after missing out on a couple I wanted to have a centralized area to post about expiry dates. The game key does not have to be from Steam so long as it is expiring, reply and I'll add it.
Table of games and dates below, sorted by nearest expiration date that has not yet occurred. Already expired keys are added to the bottom.
Google Sheet version of the table below with colors marking expired games and a bit more information.
Command & Conquer Remastered CollectionMass Effect Legendary EditionSTAR WARS: SquadronsDEATHLOOPDOOM EternalFallout 76Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game (Fallout 1)Ghostwire: TokyoTown of SalemSources: Barter, reddit, and Steamgifts 1 plus Steamgifts 2.
Share any new expiry notices and I'll add them to this main post later
