The pilot was told not to enter the Class C, so he went around it, with no
further relevant communication with ATC.


Right. The pilot left the frequency so did not hear several calls from the
controller. The controller saw the target proceeding around the Class C
airspace, concluded the pilot no longer wished to transit Class C airspace,
so he discarded the strip.



Then he came back the next day and
again established two-way communication. Did the remain-clear
instruction expire in the meantime? If so, when?


The pilot changed his mind about Class C services. The controller discarded
the strip. Nothing was carried forward to the next day. The next day's
request had nothing to do with the previous day's.
