Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Warrantless arrests

Regarding 836 of the Ca penal Code. If a suspect is indentifed on a felony crime and a bol is put out for him to all law enforcement to arrest on a reasonable cause to believe a felony has been committed how long is that good for. Is there a timely manner, such as two court days it is only good for before the investigating agency has to seek a warrant through the district attorney's office.
