It depends it has to "reasonable..." under the circumstances and there are some cases in excess of two years, but they are the exception. But there are other factors to the enforceability, scope of prohibited work, geographic area, field, industry etc...
No hard and fast rule you need to negotiate a contingency plan in your next employment contract and have an attorney go over it.
