I think I would have taken the chance, but it was taken to the garage this afternoon and they decided it should be replaced. Fortunately the lease deal I have includes 1 x spare tyre (hooray).. unfortunately somehow the EPKB has now failed, perhaps they knocked a sensor while changing the wheel (boo).

Tyres sensors are a PITA, was at a tyre place recently and they mangled one as for some reason their little brains didn't click that a 2020> german car would probably have one inside/strapped to the wheel. Not my car, but could hear the customer basically explaining in various ways to the tyre fitters how they would be paying for their pretty daft error.

How long? CHances are it was just sitting in the tread. Car tyres are made up of various layers of various materials, so long as it didn't go through all the thread layers and into the carcase then IMO your probably fine*
