In suspend mode get way more than 24 hours - would need to check Megi's pages but think he calculated 36 or so theoretically. I much prefer sxmo in general, but specifically to suspend you KNOW it is suspended when the LED stops flashing!
Active use (browsing, email, telegram, some mpv) maybe 3-4 hours

Note the default cpu governor in Danct12 Arch images is conservative: I change my default to schedutil as don't see the point of permanently doping my cpu. In theory bad for battery but what I get is still fine.
Hoping that I can improve my active use life if I can get Megi's DRAM scaling working.

For me it has been impossible to get calls trough with stock modem firmware while suspended - usb connection resets every time and it happens with all distros.
With Biktorgjs firmware and recommended settings it works at least in Arch Phosh and Pmos phosh.

If you mean that the phone just sits suspended and only modem is alive waiting for calls or sms it will be something between 36-48 hours.
It depends how good network is and is the phone still or moving (like in car or sitting in the office desk).
