How long do saved drafts last?

[BillTre]

I started a new post a coulple of days ago, but had other things to deal with before I finished it, so I saved the draft.
The draft was there yesterday, but now it is gone.

Did I do something wrong?
Is there a time limit for saved drafts?
Is something broke with the website?

Sorry Bill! 24 hours but I've increased it to 48 hours now.

Thanks Greg.
Now I know.

Looking for any "Save Draft" option...?
No such option no such link
--Preview-- ?
Nothing there.

Why do we see an UPLOAD button? To what/to where?

Only three things can be done:
POST REPLY, PREVIEW, and UPLOAD.
I see no button for SAVE DRAFT.

Its the little disk icon above the space in which you type the text for a response or new thread.
Between x² and the counterclockwise circular arrow (redo).

Upload is for putting an image on your computer into a post.

NOW I see it. The mouse-over caption does say, "Drafts". Earlier I missed seeing.
