How long does a company have to respond to an EEOC mediation?

It's been a month now with no change in status in the EEOC portal.

Thanks

I would guess considerably longer than a month.

Please clarify. A mediation is an event. One cannot respond to an event.

I don't know that they are required to respond at all. The EEOC is an investigative organization that can file a lawsuit against a company if their investigation finds that the company illegally discriminated. They don't have the authority to actually punish a company for anything themselves, they have to ask a judge to do so. The EEOC themselves would be in a better position to tell you when they will go ahead and make a decision without input from the company if the company chooses not to respond.
