I got a response from Github staff. May help others wondering in the future:

If you do both a transfer and rename, the redirect will still apply.

We keep redirects for moved and renamed repos indefinitely, but new repos take priority over redirects. That means if a new repo is created at an old location, the redirects will break in favor of displaying the new repo, for as long as that new repo exists.

Sounds like its indefinite unless a same-naned repo is created at the old location :slight_smile:
