It's a stay until Thursday at 3 pm to allow the House to respond to Trump's request for a longer stay pending the court's consideration of the Trump petition for certiorari. Once the House has had a chance to respond, the Court (or Roberts alone) may or may not issue a further stay pending action on the petition for certiorari.
Here's the relevant language:
IT IS ORDERED that the mandate of the United States Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, case No. 19-5142, is hereby
stayed pending receipt of a response, due on or before Thursday, November
21, 2019, by 3 p.m. ET, and further order of the undersigned or of the Court.

To recap, this is just granting a temporary stay while SCOTUS decides if it will hear the appeal.

How long do they usually consider the case before taking it up or dropping the stay?
