How get custom data on expired item in player inventory?

The player's inventory contains items is stackable. In custom data, I store information on the level of an item's upgrade.

Using ModifyItemUses I decrease the "uses left" of this item and change the custom data of this item. But if "uses left" becomes 0, then this item will become Expired. When you call up the player's inventory information, this item will not appear. But if "uses left" becomes greater than 1, then the item will become active again with the same custom data.

How can I always be able to receive information about items (even Expired)?

It is important for me to know were (are now) these items in the player. Do I need to duplicate information on open items for example in Player Data?

It is not possible to get the custom data of an expired item. There needs to be at least 1 use count for a stackable item in order for you to get the custom data. In your scenario, I suggest making the use count of a stackable item a relative number. For example, use count 1 in PlayFab represents use count 0 in your game and the use count in PlayFab is always greater than use count in your game by 1. Then, to make sure the use count in PlayFab is never below 1, you could add some logic before calling ModifyItemUses API in CloudScript or your server.
