There's no formal rule, although 30-60 days typically can get negotiated.
As a side comment, remember that when you do switch, it's probably
worth assuming you will need at least 5 days for the old address to
purge out of DNS caches. The great majority of cache entries will
clear much faster than that, but there will always be some that take
a while.
