Do Side Quests/Gigs/Cyberpsycho sightings expire?

I'm asking because I've spent hours doing Side Quests and Gigs without doing the Main Quest and I'd like to get back to that but I'm afraid Sides might expire. And I know there are Achievements for those.

From what I've seen and heard they aren't supposed to.

That being said, there are times when missions can get messed up depending on when they are done or what order. This results in them bugging out.

There are some that are timed, not many (I think 2 or 3)... But once you accept the quest it tells you the time.

And in those few it does affect the outcome (npc lives or npc dies).

Either way it doesnt affect anything else.

I did see another thread a while ago claiming Panam will give V another phone call telling him she no longer need his help if you wait to long.

effectively ending her questline and romance.

Dunno if its true though.

Gigs will be fine even if you start a fight and drive away. However, very few side quests may become outdated and you will miss them forever. The one that comes to mind is when Mitch is texting you to pay a visit at Scorpion's funeral. I missed this marker and after finishing the arc it disappeared.
Also I screwed up neighbour quest in H10 because I wasn't aware that I could. It didn't specifically expire, more like progressed unexpectedly.

you cant even develop relationship its a one time ♥♥♥♥, then just a lazy phone call that never changes. Even if you get laid with others.

GTA 3 SA (a game from 2004) has deeper relationship developement and activities...

they never expire, you can do them whenever you want.

some quests have a timer. Cybermonk and Panam are the only ones I can think of though.

In the Gig: Freedom of the Press I did yesterday, I had to break in a corner store and go talk to a guy called Max and make him talk to Regina and he's basically suicidal. I'm wondering if Gigs like this one could expire if the guy just dies or something.

I heard that the other one where the 2 police officers ask you to talk to your below-neighbor you can basically miss it if the guy kills himself.

Yes, that is Barry from NCPD... and yes you can miss it if started the quest and never check him back.

Is Cybermonk the one with the monk that got abducted and got put cybernetics on him and his brother? Dammit! I should prioritize this one right now!
