    There is none. A Statute of Limitations sets a limit on the amount of time someone has to take legal action against someone. If there is a bench warrant, then legal action was already initiated. So the bench warrants don't expire.

    As noted there is no SOL on warrants, some cities on traffic tickets will void them after a number of years, but this is merely a city rule.

    On these warrants they will stay valid till you are caught or die
