I don't know the specific time after which a score expires infact I don't think there is a specific time. AFAIK A-scores are updated manually by a person from Appian. All the activities of a user is monitored (I think I heard somewhere once every week/fortnight)- no. of answers provided, correct answers, posts everything and accordingly they provide score for the same. Thus A-score keeps on incrementing/decrementing based on user activites. What exact criteria they follow to provide the scores I am not aware of but I know the accuracy/quality of your posts and answers are kept in consideration as well. Hope it clarifies a bit more.

In addition to expiring credentials, A-Score can also decrease when community comments and posts you have made expire or when projects that you have added to your profile expire. Hope this helps.

AFAIK each and every score that adds up to our total A-score has an expiry date. First the certifications as you mentioned, when a certification expires corresponding A-score is reduced. Similarly A-score acquired due to posts or comments also get expired after a certain period of time. So if you were active in Community in January and you were credited an increment in A-score, the incremented value will be decremented again after some time of inactivity.
