How long can you track a Pixel after a thief has powered it off? I tested it to find out

I know nothing but in my head I imagine this feature works by having the phone going into "air tag" mode when powered off. Same battery, low power chip running minimal BLE to broadcast a tracker ID.
Edit: after reading the article, both Apple and Google promise their feature works even with a dead battery, so probably a secondary rechargeable coin cell with the "find my" chip. So basically it's got a built in air tag with a much shorter battery light
