Unlikely. I have fourteen IN-18's in my kitchen clock, and none has failed.
These are extraordinary tubes that look great and last a long time.

Thank you to everyone that responded with the answer. Never would have
guessed this. To follow up; is it common for the capsule and wire to come
loose and float inside the tube? Depending on where the wire rests it
shorts digits together.

It is a capsule that contained mercury. It was heated up when the tube was
manufactured to release the mercury. The addition of mercury to the tubes
vastly extends their lifetime.
