Expired film
I've found that the various Tri-X films to be very tolerant of abuse.
The chances are that it'll be OK but I'd do a clip-test if in any doubt.

We still discuss and shoot film.
Go Forums, then choose Forum Categories and then Film Cameras.
I would say yes but you should rate it as of lower ISO now and inform whoever's going to develop it of how low ISO you have shot it as. I think the rule of thumb is when kept refrigerated lower one ISO value for every 10 years in cold storage.
Pentaxpete shoots with expired film often, he is a very good source of knowledge on film and film cameras.

Open little black boxes find big surprises! I've found today I have one more 35mm cassette of the discontinued Kodak BW400CN. I thought I had finished them all!! But as spring blossoms I took out of the fridge an expired (2018) Agfa Vista colour 200 ISO film...
That Agfa Vista 200 will still be 'Good' at 200 ASA ! I would give the BW400CN some extra exposure though.

Chromogenic films have a great over-exposure latitude so the extra exposure will give finer grain.
After the results of the last one pentaxpete I will rate the Kodak at ISO200 instead of ISO400. Exposure times will be slightly longer. William, that Kodak film has very fine grain as is. I bought a T-Max 3200 to see grain, haha.
