Indefinitely, because it does not keep track of the changes themselves, it only tracks which blocks have changed. This information is kept in the DRBD metadata, which is preallocated to be large enough to cover all data blocks (requiring one bit per 4096 byte data block on the storage device in DRBD's bitmap, plus some alignment, so the size of the bitmap is approximately 1 / 32768 of the size of the storage device).
