How long does the "This question may already have an answer here" banner appear if the 5 close-as-duplicate votes are never reached? For example, if a question receives two close-as-duplicate votes, the banner appears. Does it ever disappear if there are no further close votes?

  • I would assume until those votes expire. And only visible to the OP.

    @Bart better post this as answer linking to the post explaining about vote expiry. Commented Apr 9, 2013 at 8:32
  • @Bart yes, I concur with @ ShaWizDowArd, when do votes expire?

It's only shown to the OP until the question gets closed. If the close votes expire, it will melt away for all. If it gets closed, then everyone will see it.
