The lifetime of a runtime storage disk

What is the lifetime of a storage disk created during runtime with:

$disk = Storage::build([
    'driver' => 'local',
    'root' => '/path/to/root',
]);
$disk->put('test.txt);

It lives only inside of current request.

If it is HTTP request, it lives until the response is sent (strictly saying, and deferred actions is done, and terminable middleware is executed). If it is artisan command, it lives until the command is finished, etc.
