How long does one have to make a bracha Achrona?
- If one ate bread and was full from it, one can bench up to 72 minutes. However, if one didn’t make Birkat HaMazon until after 72 minutes, one may make it until one is even slightly hungry again. [1]
- If one did wait more than 72 minutes and is in doubt whether one made Birkat HaMazon, preferably one should eat a Kezayit and then make Birkat HaMazon, and if that’s impossible, one should make Birkat HaMazon, if originally one had bread until one was full. [2]
- At a feast or lengthy meal, even if a few hours pass, if from time to time one has some food or drinks, one may make Birkat HaMazon at the end of the meal. [3] However, preferably, one shouldn’t wait between any eating or drinking and Birkat HaMazon more than 72 minutes. [4]

- ↑ S”A 184:5 writes that one may Birkat HaMazon until is hungry again. However, some achronim including Aruch HaShulchan 184:7,8, and Kaf HaChaim 184:28 write that since we aren’t precise in determining when we’re hungry or full, one should preferably make Birkat HaMazon within 72 minutes. However, if one didn’t make Birkat HaMazon until after 72 minutes, one surely may make Birkat HaMazon until one is hungry. Vezot HaBracha (chapter 5, pg 49) quotes Rav Elyashiv who says that it’s preferable to eat a little more before making Birkat HaMazon.

- ↑ Magan Avraham 184:9 writes that one can make Birkat HaMazon after a few hour meal as long as one continually had other foods, Vezot HaBracha (Chapter 5 pg 51) adds that one should try not to wait more than 72 minutes between the eating and the Birkat haMazon.
