It varies depending on device and usage.  The battery monitoring on
NexusOne happens every ten minutes, so that's the longest you'll see a
N1 suspended for.  On a G1 or Dream/myTouch you can see 20-30 minutes
between wakeups (depending on network issues and background data sync
traffic), and if you have background data sync off those devices can
sit in suspend for days at a time (unless you receive a phone call or
something).  In "airplane mode", with no local alarms, a device can
easily sit in the lowest power state for a month or so, until the
battery finally runs out.
