Of course, a mechanical or electronic failure is likely to end the mission long before the RTG wears out (same as on Curiosity)

"CHINA'S LUNAR SAMPLES CONFIRM LATE VOLCANISM, POSE NEW QUESTIONS"
https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/...gbHr0LA.twitter "A team of lunar scientists led by Xiaochao Che (Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences) analyzed the lead content in two basalt fragments of around 3 to 4 millimeters in size, publishing the results in the October 8th Science. They determined the fragments’ to be around 1.96 billion years old, making them almost a billion years younger than material returned by the Apollo and Soviet-era Luna missions as well as what’s found in lunar meteorites." https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abl7957 -------------------- "The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena"
