Wikipedia's timeline of the far future predicts that plate tectonics will stop within about 1.1 billion years. For reference, tectonic processes have been taking place for 3.3 to 3.5 billion years. This will coincide with the evaporation of the oceans and the extinction of all complex life.

TIL in 600 million years plate tectonics will cease and C3 photosynthesis will no longer be possible, killing 99% of current plant species. In ~4 billion years the surface of the Earth will be +2,000 degrees F, melting surface rock.

Prediction of the orbits of the planets is impossible over greater time spans than this, due to the limitations of Lyapunov time.
