How long will my sourdough last without being fed or maintained?

For the most healthy sourdough starter, you need to feed it every day if it is being kept at room temperature. When I am home, I keep my sourdough starter on the kitchen counter, feed it daily and use some to make bread every other day. If I am going to be away, I feed it, wait one hour and then put it in the fridge. It will be happy for about a week without being fed. If left longer than a week and the food will run out and your starter will begin to suffer.
