When your machine hibernates, it dumps the contents of RAM to the
harddrive and turns itself off. There is certainly no limit to how
long it can stay turned off.
Standby involves powering down disk drives, turning off the monitor,
doing what can be done to reduce power consumption without actually
turning the machine off. Power still flows to RAM to keep it
functioning. I don't think there's any limit to how long you can keep
the machine like this. Many machines are configured so that after
being in Standby for some amount of time, they will hibernate.
