It should last you a lifetime unless you write lots and lots everyday . I know that some people do report that their pens write slightly wider after a long period of regular use . There are many reasons behind this , sometimes it is that the ink has established a strong flow pattern , it could also be that your hand has gotten used to the pen and you are using the flat spot on the pen more consistently . Nibs are typically made with a slight flat spot or foot which provides a sweet spot that gives a nicer writing experience . I would bet that the flat spot was already there but that you just noticed it recently . If the flat spot was the result of your writing , I doubt that it would wear down that much more over the long term .
