The caching of authorization documentation is controlled by the PKI policy
(for the WebPKI, the CA/BF Baseline Requirements), not by the ACME spec.
The BRs say that documentation relating to Domain Control Validation (aka
ACME Authorizations) must be obtained no more than 398 days prior to
issuing the Certificate. Let's Encrypt shortens that to 30 days in its
CP/CPS; I believe some other ACME CAs do the same.

On the one hand, I don't think those requirements would apply to private
key proof-of-possession authorizations. On the other hand, I don't think
there would be any compelling reason for a CA to cache keypair PoP
authzs for any shorter nor for any longer than DCV authzs. So I suspect
that in practice they would be treated similarly, yes.
