Probably about as long as any other leftovers, maybe a week or two tops. The texture will probably change more based on how you reheat them. And they will certainly be different from fresh cooked. If your thinking long term storage as an ingredient in something else I’ve had great luck making a big batch of scrambled eggs with a bunch of veg and cheese and meal prepping a bunch of frozen breakfast burritos.
Sure. In my experience a week is absolutely no problem and usually cooked food goes bad in a detectable way (mold or tasting off). Personally I never had a problem but I guess it also depends on the fridge temperature and whether it really was cooked/fried all the way through.
also how you cool the food, if you put the food in a well sealed cleaned container while over 75°C and keep covered while cooling and only open once you will consume the food will stay good for a lot longer than if you put it in a container when it’s already room temperature.
I’ve actually wondered about this. If you take a sealed container, freeze and thaw it again, shouldn’t it be sterile? So basically good for as long as the seal remains tight?
With some exceptions of course, the seal might not be tight at low temperatures, some bacteria can survive frost etc.

A week or two for leftovers? How are you not dead of salmonella. Eggs are good for maybe 2 days in a fridge.
I mean, there shouldn’t be any salmonella on fried eggs in the first place. And once dead it won’t come back just from being stored in the fridge.
Right, salmonella isn’t the thing to worry about cooked food. But other things are if you keep leftovers for a week or two.
