There’s no time limit. It is recommended to withdraw your funds regularly, keeping only enough for a few average order refunds and use linked funding sources to pay vendors as PayPal is not a bank and can freeze accounts, tying up your funds, to verify identity, for suspicious activity or for violation of User Agreement/Acceptable Use Policy in the most inopportune time.

Basically, don’t keep your life savings in PayPal.
