Until withdrawn by the judge that issued it, or until it is 'quashed' by a judge of a higher court.
All warrants are indefinite until served or recalled by the issuing judge.
In most jurisdictions a bench warrant remains on your record permanently. It does not have a statute of limitations and can be used to arrest you even years after it was issued.
"Failure to appear" in Alabama will cause a bench warrant to be issued for your arrest. Usually, you would not be picked up on a bench warrant unless they run your ID for another reason and the warrant shows up. You will be taken to jail under the warrant and will remain there until (a) you post bond, or (b) you go to court. You will be assigned the "next available" court date, sometimes as long as 30 to 60 days out.
For ever. Sorry.

Contrary to popular belief/myth/legend, arrest warrants do not expire. They will always remain in NCIC (nationwide) or the state's computer system until you are apprehended and brought before a judge.
A Bench Warrant is issued by a judge and unless the warrant is 'quashed' or withdrawn by that judge, the hold will stay in effect. However, if there is some untimely delay in picking the inmate up and returning him to the where he is 'wanted' he could file a Writ of Habeus Corpus, the outcome which will have the effect of either releasing him or expediting his return.
Arrest warrants are valid until served or recalled. A warrant can remain active indefinitely.
sense its a felony charge it will stay active on your record til you can try to get it over turned. An arrest warrant is valid until it is served or recalled. The warrant is valid ("effective") until the person named in it is arrested or they convince the court that issued it to quash or recall it. People have been arrested on warrants that were issued many years before they were served.
Usually, a Bench Warrant is issued by the judge in the proceeding that you did not show up for. These can be for any court proceeding that you should have been in attendance. More generally speaking, a judge can issue a bench warrant for anybody, and for any reason, although their proceedings are subject to reveiw by higher courts and higher judges. The "to hold" is, I don't think the right terminology. because if you are picked-up on a bench warrant, you will see the judge before you get out.
Traffic warrants stay active until they are served or satisfied. You may need to bail yourself out to avoid being taken in on a warrant.
NEVER, as is the case for any warrant. NEVER is not the case for all bench warrants and its certainly not the case for all arrest warrants..... A Bench warrant will stay active till you are either brought before the court,the court drops the warrant itself, you die or you do some legal action to resolve the warrant. In some city courts, bench warrants for traffic tickets and unpaid fines are sometimes cleared after a number of years but that is a city by city issue. There are statute of limitations set on arrest warrants(meaning you committed a crime but have not been arrested by the police) that vary from state to state and once the statute of limitations is reached for that specific crime you can not be prosecuted for that crime and the arrest warrant becomes void,such as an arrest warrant issed in the state of Maryland in 1956 for a person who committed petty theft would no longer be valid in 2012 because the states statute of limitaions on the crime of petty theft is only 20 years..
