A QR code encoding…
a payment request specific to some payment provider is subject to the specific payment provider's terms of use. A typical range could be between a few hours and a day.
an on-chain Bitcoin address remains valid indefinitely. Although address reuse is not recommended, it could be used for multiple payments.
a Lightning Invoice will be valid until the invoice times out (often 1h) or the invoice gets paid.
Could you be more specific in what context the QR code was issued? – Murch – 2019-08-30T18:31:41.667
