What is the max possible time spended in city withouth the "Dangerous" text?

[Siim]

So far 13hrs went withouth problem. Does that yellow/red text mean danger only for me or is it also meant for traders so that they don't come near that place. The text does not seem to go a away. I started new save and I don't want to get a single warning text this time.

The "danger" in the city increases when your ship stays here, and does not fade away with time. Yellow means that there's some chance to be reported, while red guarantees it.

I think it's slightly more than 12h before the yellow sign appears, and this time can be increased through a random event.

Its 20 hours for yellow and and another 20 for red level.
Note, that label itself does not do anything. It only makes it possible for "alarm" to go off. And only after that alarm is sounded (which will always be reported by Pyotr) your location is revealed to an enemy.

Is it so for Hard? I can barely refuel Sev before a city turns yellow.
