OSB3 will last for years without any protection. Vertically mounted (boarded up windows and doors for instance) do so; I've had OSB3 (it had had a couple of years over a window) covering a water butt. It's horizontal (obviously), rather humid underneath, doesn't drain and gets no sun for several months. It's been there for >15 years and is still sound (18mm thick) although sagging slightly - it does have several kg of washing basket on it sometimes, so that might explain the sag.
