Skillset pools (lore, magic, offense, defense, survival) don't drain over time, so they just stay at whatever level you've filled them to until you make a prediction or die. Only the event pool drains over time-- which you might not even have access to, yet.
You can check how full your current pools are with "Predict State" and the argument 'all' or a specific pool ("predict state all" has a pretty hefty roundtime at low skill).

They're proud of them." -Raesh, on history
