The same 2 hours as the MAX, isn't it? Which is why, when maintenance came to the Alaskan door plug aircraft, the CVR of the event had already been overwritten and lost, since the crew didn't pull the breaker, though SOP tell them to do that.
The GE 3254F EAFR flying on the 787 (I believe) can record 2 hours of images. These get lost as well when nobody pulls the breakers in time. However, under these circumstances you can still ask the crew directly, so I don't really follow why the NTSB is complaining about the duration.
The 2 hour limit also means that what the crew would be deleting when they push the button is mainly their own data.
