The filter > and absorption cells have no wearout mechanism. Some Rubidiums have a "hot-swap" of the Rubidium lamp, such as my R&S Rubidium. Unfortunatly I don't have the replacement part. With hot-swap means that all electronics, heating etc is all running as normally, but during the operation there is a natural loss of tracking.
