You are declaring the counter variable in the Update loop. Try moving the int counter = 0; out of the Update(). Also, counter = counter++ is unnecessary, just counter++ is enough.

 public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
 {
     int counter = 0;
     void Update()
     {
         if (counter <= 0)
         {
             counter++;
             //Debug.Log(counter);
         }
         if (counter == 200)
         {
             Destroy(gameObject);
         }
     }
 }

Another way to do this is using an overload of the Destroy() method.

 public class TimedDestroy : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public float timeBeforeDestroy = 10f; // 10 Seconds
 
     public void Start()
     {
         Destroy(gameObject, timeBeforeDestroy);
     }
 }
