Blocked numbers

When blocking a number on an Iphone 10 or newer how long will the block last? I know in the past it would only last for 6 months, does this still apply? TIA

I don't have it blocked on-line threw the family option we pay for. I was under the understanding that it will lift after 6 months if it is blocked under their name contact. ??? just directly on the iphone is where it is blocked.

Your carrier may have time limits on blocks you initiate through them (with mine it's 90 days). But, on the phone, the number will stay blocked until you unblock it.
