Pro tip here, this is great for nail holes or divets, anything that doesnt need tape. Once you need to use tape, do yourself a huge favor, go buy a bag of setting type mix, which is just powder you mix with alittle water to make a tooth paste consistency. Bonus, the powder never gets hard or goes bad for years.
If all you need is a quart then I would guess filling small holes or incidental damage in which case I would recommend choosing a latex or acrylic spackling. These are easier to apply, don't shrink, dry faster, more forgiving application, can paint over sooner, and can even have colors that fade to white for a visual indication of drying.

The number on the bag indicates the working time. It can vary depending on how you mix it but for example, this 45 minute mud means that in 45 minutes it'll start to set fairly firm.
One caution with the non-premixed stuff is it can be difficult to mix in large-ish batches by hand. If you are doing a large amount of tape work and don't want to buy extra mixing tools...I'd just use premixed stuff.

If I am a Pro, agreed.
But I have to say, mixing the power stuff is such a pain in the butt, and for me anyway, tends to end up making a bit of a mess with cleanup, etc.
The convenience factor of the premixed stuff can't be overlooked.
One downside, as you mention above though, is that it does go bad after a few months.
(ie, I have gotten mold before, and have had to chuck the bucket early)
