Were you provided with a warranty?
I had a look and somebody on autogeek installed duraseal at one time. Seems like a reasonable ceramic. But they primarily deal with dealers probably because it's easy money.
I would expect 3-5 years. If you have harsh weather it's usually on the lower end. You can email them and ask how they suggest to maintain it. Usually it's some form of "topper" which is a Sio2 type sealant that helps fill in etching on the coating as it wears and maintain the hydrophobics.

I plan to do an annual maintenance coat with my car. The dealer detailing shop will sell me the maintenance product and I can do myself. Figure I will get about 3 years out of it with maintenance and then will probably need some paint touchup and a whole strip and reapply. Mine takes a worse beating than most though. Getting much more than 3 years out of any of them is pretty optimistic.
Mine is the CarPro Cquartz which ranked #1 or 2 in all of my research.
