Under normal conditions, premium power supplies typically remain functional for many years. While some models come with decade-long warranties, their actual lifespan can vary based on usage and quality.

The most frustrating part is that you likely weren't able to receive a refund since the PSU was functioning properly.

Who knows? But if the warranty is 10 years then there's a good chance it will last 10 years.
I replaced a friends PSU which he had been using for a long time, he was running a sandy bridge i3 so it must have been at least 10 or 11 years old, I think it was a Corsair TX PSU if I remember correctly. It hadn't failed I just thought I better replace it before it did. Actually, I don't think it was a TX it was some model of Corsair PSU though.

Yeah, my dad's Lenovo SFF workstation has an i5 2400 and the power supply is still functioning well after nearly 13 years.

It could be. The effects might remain concealed for a considerable time if you consumed a pound of bacon each morning for breakfast, leading to internal harm that isn't immediately apparent through obvious signs like component failure or abrupt shutdowns.
