[Star Wars] How long do Jedi mind tricks work?

Did those stormtroopers on Tatooine think "Wait, those WERE the droids we were looking for!" at the end of their shift? The next day? Never?

The incident with Obi-Wan and the deathstick pusher seems to indicate it's long-term or indefinite. Would it be possible for someone to, as it were, get a second Will save to snap out of it--perhaps if someone points out that it doesn't make sense?

It works until they're convinced otherwise. It can essentially be thought of as a little switch in the mind that takes a lot of work to change normally, but a mind trick is an automatic flip. The troopers were suspicious that those could be the droids, and it would have taken a decent amount of convincing (records and such) to convince them otherwise. Then Obi-Wan flipped the switch into their heads to the "not what we're looking for" position. They would be in that position until someone points out to them later that they *were* the ones they were looking for.
