Do combat anomalies despawn after a certain period of time from when they are opened? Also, how long will they stay until they despawn?

Thank you.

I believe Anomalies will naturally despawn after a few days.

They despawn at downtime, and then respawn after downtime. A site will remain open as long as the completion trigger has not been destroyed.

if you partially do an anomaly, the wave you are shooting will stay as is till downtime, fully respawn in downtime and the first wave will also spawn up - after which you may or may not get 2 "wave pointers or rather 2 triggers" to the current state of the anom and 1 or 2 sets of waves, though the behavior in that state is very inconsistent.

they last about 3 days if not completed.

digital plexus which is marked as a combat site, will despawn some time after someone opens a can, even if someone is in it.

other combat sites will lose their signature when you complete the completion trigger but won't actually despawn for some time if you stay in it. It is no trouble to kill 10 battleships after the trigger in a ded 7 or 8 and then fetch a noctis quick and go back to the gate and work your way through the plex salvaging. It won't survive you moving to another system or going to a station to get the noctis though.

ded signatures won't respawn anything over downtime they retain their state, ded escalations respawn if the trigger hasn't been completed, which lead to a recent nerfing of the lifespan of the escalation by CCP.

A wormhole sig will last about 3 days if nobody touches it, and whatever the wormhole timer is if someone initiates warp to it.
