Statutes of limitations apply to the filing of charges. Basically, they require that a charge be filed within a certain time of the offense. Different rules govern the time frame for resolving charges after they are filed.
Warrants are only issued after charges are filed. As such, statutes of limitations do not apply to warrants. Most, if not all, of the other rules requiring speedy disposition of cases do not apply when a warrant is outstanding because they apply only when a defendant is within the jurisdiction of the court and by definition a defendant with a warrant is not presently submitting to the jurisdiction of the court.
The only limitations on a warrant are death and the periodic review of old charges by prosecutors to determine if keeping the charge pending is worthwhile.

When a judge issues a bench warrant it stays active until: (1) the subject of the warrant is deceased (2) the judge recalls the warrant (3) the warrant is served. I've served outstanding warrants from as far back as 1984 for failure to appear or failure to pay fines.
Statutes of limitations apply only to the time required for a charge to be filed. Violations and misdemeanors must be filed within one year of the violation or crime occuring. Once a charge has been filed, it stays until resolved.

To be honest, the statute of limitations expires when you die.

Once a warrant, always a warrant until it is resolved..........
