The technical term used by BR is "Request Token"

"
Request Token:  [...]

A Request Token MAY include a timestamp to indicate when it was created.

[...]

A Request Token that includes a timestamp SHALL remain valid for no more
than 30 days from the time of creation.

A Request Token that includes a timestamp SHALL be treated as invalid if
its timestamp is in the future. 

A Request Token that does not include a timestamp is valid for a single
use and the CA SHALL NOT reuse it for a subsequent validation.

[...]

Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates. Version 1.5.4, Section
1.6.1: Definitions.

And SHALL/SHALL NOT are absolute requirements.


I.e. tokens themselves may live for at most 30 days.

How long the validations granted can live is actually unclear even
to CABForum partipicants. One could interpret that such grants can be
at most 30 days for tokens, or one could interpret that such grants can
be valid for at most 825 days (the maximum grant lifetime for any
method).

There have been proposals in that direction. However, it would take
BR changes.
