More than 25 days. After 50 days the time resets back to 0, and things start working again.

Also, be aware that modern versions of windows (windows 8 onwards I think) have a feature called hybrid shutdown, where shutting down your computer actually just puts it into sleep mode. This doesn't reset ...

I booted up Alleg today for the first time in probably a couple of years, and this issue was bugging the hell out of me.
