No time limit for precaution’s sake. The Action is good until you see something wrong. Rusted through, metal corrosion? Cracks? Action bent from damage?
At worst, the lugs will degrade to the point they can’t be cut. If you need a number, that won’t happen for many, many MANY thousands of rounds! You ever wonder why there are so many heavily used surplus rifles? Many with 10’s of Thousands of rounds through them, yet they function just fine.
Don’t worry on it. Shoot the rifle until stress signs appear.
