Ideally, the lifetime is "until the tombstone is wrong" (as when an item is restored from backup). That usually means forever.

I understand that the "deleted" flag is used to mark an object that was deleted by one client so that another clients would notice this and delete the object too at sync time. I wonder how long is the lifetime of an object marked as deleted on the storage server? Does the object continue to be stored indefinitely on the server? Or it will be automatically deleted by the server after a certain amount of time? (If so, how long is the duration, is it configurable?) Or does it fall into the responsibility of the clients to issue a DELETE request that will fully delete the object from the server?
