I had around $80 this month, and it dropped to like $43.
I've haven't been clicking my own ads, so what's the deal?

Someone else has been giving you fake clicks, then. I believe the earnings it shows leading up to the end of the month are estimates. It does a check at the end of the month to see if all of them are valid. You'd need a pretty darn active website to hit $80/mo legit--I don't think even MN makes that much?

you have estimated and then finalized earnings, pretty much what yoorah said. For it to drop by such a large percentage though means someone is doing something.
for nation it usually only drops by about 20$ at the end of the month.

My tumblr typically makes around that much, usually $16 - $30 depending on what I post, but several of my posts have gotten pretty damn popular and I saw my earning skyrocket and was super siked. :(

that might be it then, if you're usual is a lower amount but suddenly it increases like that, it's seen as suspicious. If it continues to be active like that it should level off and not decrease by so much.

Oh, Osay, I have another question, do my earnings expire if they go unclaimed for an x amount of time.
Because I've been letting them build up to around $100 before I claim my earnings, but I'm thinking of letting them build up for longer.

They do not. I had an account with $20 in it from my old blog for years.

They don't expire, and I think you need a minimum of either 50 or 100 anyways for them to transfer it to you.
I suggest bank transfer, check will use your earnings for whatever related fees involved.

Google penalizes certain types of traffic, mainly other search crawling and traffic from certain regions that is likely to be abusive.
Most like that's what happened, you simply had a lot of bots looking at your site and google penalized the final payout based on that.
3 years of accumulation on my adsense is showing a finalized $96. They won't pay out until you reach $100 though.
