A day or two at most.

Shouldn't really affect the taste/consistency but it depends on how you heat it up. If you microwave it, it will definitely change.

If you just quickly re-fry it in a pan, you should be good.

I agree with day or two tops, but the microwave/pan thing I see completely the opposite way. Microwave is ok to heat up eggs, while refrying in a pan you are likely to dry them up and it just can't be the same the 2nd time.

If you have an air fryer, or a toaster oven with an “air fry” setting, that might be worth a try for reheating.

Egg yolk cooks disproportionately quickly in the microwave. For runnier yolks, other methods will be closer to desired results.

You need to use lower power on the microwave.

For many microwaves including all of the ones I've used, that only lowers the percentage of time the microwave emits radiation. It helps but it still heats the yolk disproportionately in my experience.
