This is about 7.5 minutes. The longest total solar eclipse from 4000 BCE to 8000 CE, a span of 12,000 years, will occur on July 16, 2186 and will last 7 minutes 29 seconds. Its path sweeps across Colombia, Venezuela and Guyana. The August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse, by comparison, will last a maximum of 2 minutes 43 seconds.
The totality phase of a total lunar eclipse can last anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours depending on the exact geometry of the eclipse. For details on exactly how long any given eclipse will be (and the dates of upcoming eclipses, both solar and lunar) check out the NASA eclipse site in the Related Links section.
