A persistent current in a ring is thermodynamically a meta-stable state. It is separated by a barrier from states with smaller number of flux quanta. This means that at any non-zero temperature the persistent current state will eventually decay (by tunneling or thermal activation) to a state with no current, and the energy dissipated as heat.

The energy density in an SMES is ultimately limited by mechanical considerations. Since the energy is being held in the form of magnetic fields, the magnetic pressures, which are given by (11.6) P = B 2 2 μ 0. rise very rapidly as B, the magnetic flux density, increases.Thus, the magnetic pressure in a solenoid coil can be viewed in a …
The energy in a capacitor can be thought as being stored in the electric field. The energy is stored in the magnetic field for an inductor which needs to have charges moving, an electric current. So if the current is reduced or eventually made zero the magnetic field would be reduced and so the energy stored in the inductor decreases. – …
