I don't use synthetics enough to have run into an end-of-lifespan issue for them, but my standard would be when the reed no longer performs at the level I need it to. I would also have new stand-bys to which to compare the old Legere and would replace it if a new one felt significantly better.

I can't help wondering about your criteria for discarding old cane reeds. I'm not sure what you mean by "the tip will not be flat."
