One correction: I said off the cuff the orbit would decay over the coming days to weeks. It’s actually years – reentry timing has high uncertainty, but estimates center around summer 2025. Primary driver of orbital decay is drag from tiny remnants of Earth’s atmosphere.

Atmospheric density exponentially decays with altitude, but the decay rate at orbital altitudes depends on solar activity, making long-term predictions difficult.

Does it completely burn up, or do some peices of it hit the water?

I would have imagined it to it be attached in a Dragon trunk, and when the Dragon leaves the space station it would burn up in the atmosphere together with the trunk. Then it wouldn't remain so long in orbit.
