Look up shelf life
Times assume normal kitchen conditions and follow USDA style food storage guidance. When in doubt, trust your nose and eyes: mold, sourness, or an off smell always wins the argument.
The short version: ripe tomatoes last 3 to 5 days on the counter and up to 10 more in the fridge (at a flavor cost), cut tomatoes get 2 to 3 refrigerated days, opened canned tomatoes about a week, and frozen tomatoes hold 6 to 8 months. The lookup above covers a dozen forms with the storage tricks that actually extend each one.
