How long are most 'Limited Time" prices in the app store good for?

When developers state in their app description, "For a Limited Time", about how long is that? I know it's going to vary a little bit, but does anyone know what an approx. time usually is? Two weeks, two months? Once I buy an app at a special price, I rarely go back to find out what it jumped to or when it might have occurred.....Thanks in advance!

It all depends on the developer. They have full control over their pricing. You should email them and ask.

They're good until the developer decides to raise the price back to normal. This is like asking "how long is a piece of string?"

When I set a limited time price I usually keep it a week; It depends if the application is new or not.

For example my last app Italian Video Recipes has now a limited time price sale because it's new and I probably will keep it until a few reviews appear on iTunes.
When I do that on older apps I usually keep it a week.
Sometimes I also make a "one day free" but it's very rare.

Thanks for the replies everyone - I figured as much, but wanted to get more developer/user input - much appreciated! I did ask a developer about it and instead of getting an answer back, I found it on the itunes app game page when the price will be going back up!! It was...refreshing!
