When Is the Hold Automatically Released by the System

Summary:

I've found out that if the notification is not responded within the certain period of time, the requst for more information on the approval notification gets expired and the system automatically releases the hold after some days pass by. 

I was wondering exactly when the systme is supposed to release the hold.
