How long can skeletons stay in a dark area before they disappear? - Black and white long exposure of illuminated street with contemporary hotel building with glowing lights located in city at night time

I created a giant skeleton statue and decided to spawn skeletons in the head. I put water in there just in case they burn, even though its completly dark. In a few hours, i came back and they were all gone. How long do they stay? And is there any way to keep them?

Do skeletons only spawn at night?

Where do Skeletons spawn? Skeletons will spawn anywhere in the overworld where the light level is seven or lower. This means they can spawn at night, in dark caves, and in the ocean.

What keeps skeletons from spawning?

Skeletons spawn when the light level is 7 or less. They don't spawn on half blocks or transparent blocks. mob spawning area is effectively limited to spheres with a radius of 128 blocks, centered at each player.
