I know you want an answer in hours.  The bottom line is that depends on what you are printing, the nozzle diameter, and the material it is made with.  This is not a simple answer.

Abrasives will erode it quicker.

The length of nozzle life will be 3 months to 3 years.  Brass nozzles are cheap and they are expendable.  I would guess 2000-6000 print hours.  That is a guess.

Thank you for the very very quick response .... no it's not that urgent, I have time 😀 . I mainly print 0.4mm PLA with the original Prusa nozzle so in brass, never abrasive.
