There is no time limit. You can take as long as you need to pass your evaluation — trade at your own pace without any deadline pressure.
The only time-related rule is inactivity: if no trades are placed for 90 consecutive days, your account becomes ineligible. As long as you are actively trading, your evaluation stays open indefinitely.
