No, there's no supported way to query Admin Console values from a process/interface, and no standard plug-in exposes them.
Best practice is to store it in a constant (or config table) and keep it in sync manually.

On a user-by-user basis I don't know that we even have visibility into this anywhere, as admins, even when looking at admin console. It's all handled internally within Appian and intentionally obfuscated from even the designer level for security purposes.

I want to query the maximum password age days value from the admin console, to display that information on a dashboard. I could just have duplicate info and store that value in a constant, but was wondering if I can query admin console info directly (if there's an appropriate plug in?).

You cannot query Admin Console settings or password‑expiry info for users from a process or interface in Appian.
But what's you actual use case?

The test users are created locally within Appian platform and not maintained in Active directory or any other identity provider ?

Individual users will get password expiry waring. But for a admin user who wants to maintain them, a small process with remainder can be sent for the users whose password should be changed as per set value.
