How long do people remember failed pickpocket attempts?

Question

If I go to pickpocket a person who's recently caught me, I get an error saying I can't do it because they've already caught me.

How long does this last? Is it indefinite, or will they "forget" after a certain amount of time?

Answer

The pickpocket flag will never reset afaik. When I was testing the answer to the other question, waiting multiple days in the area did not work. I didn't test the super long wait periods (2+weeks) to see if they would eventually reset. And frankly, if anyone's loading times take longer than waiting for 2+ weeks, they probably have bigger issues on hand.

I think you have to force the area to unload and reload before the flag is reset for you to be able to pick pocket again.
