The broker will mark to market the short trade position every trading day when the market closes.

If the prices of the shorted stock goes down the broker will make a margin call of enough cash or collateral on deposit to make up the difference between selling price & actual market price

So the short seller can keep the position open indefinitely as long as he has enough cash or collateral to cover the margin

If you can make the margin calls, until you’re out of money.
