https://www.naco.org/news/us-congre...esolution-fund-government-until-march-14-2025 So we have until 14 March 2025 for the new congress to do the past congress's job of passing a budget.

"Congress has enacted one or more CRs in all but three fiscal years since FY1977. In total, 200 CRs were enacted into law during the period FY1977-FY2023, ranging from zero to 21 in any single fiscal year. Continuing appropriations acts provided funding for one or more regular appropriations acts for an average of 137 days before the appropriations process was completed for that year." https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R46595
