Black holes give off radiation. The largest black holes known currently will survive for 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000 years (I'm not kidding). So, in a worst case scenario, that is your maximum time left.
