so far I know it is has a memory space given to the drops in the mission, if it exceeds the memory cap the oldes spawned itmes will dissapear (orbs, ammo and mods, have different memery cashe AFAIK) so as dececrate farmel which only occasionally picks up energy orbs will see that even if you don't have them picked up, you will see a lot of red obs.

There is however a timer on those orbs near lephantis in the 2nd stage, the orbs will discolor and dissapaer a short time later
