When Does Time Decay Accelerate Most Significantly?
Time decay accelerates most significantly in the final 30 to 45 days leading up to the option's expiration date. This acceleration is due to the decreasing probability of a favorable price move in the remaining short time.
Options with a longer time to expiration decay more slowly.
