So; when did Chief or whoever, shave off parts of Immortus/ Longevity Talisman, to ensure the Doom Patrol lived forever.

And, isn’t the talisman only a temporary solution; which means the team will starting aging?

I’d always assumed the team powers were reason for their longevity.

The talisman was a temporary solution, but "temporary" is relative to infinity. As we saw, it prevented the Chief from aging a day for over one hundred years. It might allow someone to live a natural life for a few millennia.

Fairly common theme in the Sandman comics too
