How long do filters last?

Recently I inspected my 20 year old Lumicon Deep Sky filter to see that when held to the light, the coating has become somewhat powdery looking. Perhaps that is why I am getting some star halos on photos also. So I have replaced it with an Astronomik CLS and also looking at more from Baader.

What sort of life can I expect out of the Astronomik and Baader etc? Do some last longer than others?
