Does anyone know how to tell what the lifetime is in on the enterprise edition full page cache? I've poked around the code base a good bit but I don't see anything that indicates a set lifetime.
Thanks!

I think it will use the default from Mage_Core_Model_Cache::DEFAULT_LIFETIME which is 7200 seconds.
Take a look at the Enterprise_PageCache_Model_Cache::getCacheInstance() method. It will either create its own instance of a core/cache model or use the application's if there are no specific options set.

Are you following me? :) Thanks! This sounds accurate, but I'll verify tonight. – Jake A. Smith Feb 13 '13 at 22:39

In the <full_page_cache> tag in your ./app/etc/local.xml just define
<lifetimelimit>86400</lifetimelimit>
The lifetime is defined in seconds. You need to strike a balance between content freshness, performance and the amount of storage space you actually have available.
The default is 7200 seconds.

Great answer! I'm accepting beeplogic's just because he answered me first. Thanks for the lifetime tip! – Jake A. Smith Feb 20 '13 at 23:06

AFAIK this does only apply when you are using Cm_Cache_Backend_Redis, and it needs to be placed
<full_page_cache><backend_options> HERE </backend_options><full_page_cache>– Jeroen Vermeulen - MageHost Jan 31 '18 at 12:37

This is an old thread, but I've been doing a lot of work with FPC recently and I wanted to clarify because the above is not accurate. Magento EE FPC out of box does not support expiration.
Enterprise_PageCache_Model_Processor::processRequestResponse() does this...
$cacheInstance->save($content, $cacheId, $this->getRequestTags());
Since lifetime is not passed here it defaults to null. See Mage_Core_Model_Cache::save() signature...
public function save($data, $id, $tags = array(), $lifeTime = null)
Also of note https://github.com/colinmollenhour/Cm_Cache_Backend_Redis/pull/77
