Password "request will expire". What is the password expiration period?

Recently I received a copy of the message that users receive when they make a new password request. This reveals something that is unexplained, and is significant for users and site admin:

Quote
We've received a password reset request for this email address.
If you requested your password to be reset, please click on the
following link, or cut and paste it into your browser window:

[example link]

This will allow you to set a new password for your account.
If you did not request this password reset request, you can
ignore this email and the request will expire.

*****

Hola! "... the request will expire" (!!??)

Like when? In 10 minutes? One week? One year?

People cannot always respond IMMEDIATELY to an email.

If the User (aka tablet addict) decides to check this out an hour later, or next day, will they see the error message shown in the attached tablet image?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Education, learning resources, TEL, AR/VR/MR, CC licensed content, panoramas, interactive narrative, sectional modules (like jrDocs), lunch at Uni of Bristol. Get in touch if you share my current interests or can suggest better :)

My antique Casio hand calculator (with magic tape bandaid) converts that to 1 day. Sounds reasonable.
