How long do disc brake pads last?

Just curious. I have 1100 or so miles on my Mazama with TRP Spyre brakes, and the last bit of my 50 mile a day tour, I was having to move the pads inwards a quarter turn every morning to keep braking adequate on the front. The back, I could't adjust the inboard pad with my wrench, was left just adjusting the outboard, and it go to a point where my lever is basically sitting up against the handlebar when I try to stop. There doesn't seem to be much material left on them, is that all you really get out of a set of disc pads?
