It expires worthless. However, keep in mind that you don't have to fly before ETC expiration; you just have to buy your new ticket before ETC expiration. So, an ETC issued on May 1, 2020 can be used for travel through approximately April 1, 2023. If your travel plans haven't firmed up when your ETC is about to expire, buy a zero-change-fee fare with the remaining funds and then change it once your plans are set.
