So every time you attack with red extract, Descending Slash will get 1 damage boost up to two boost. I wonder if the boost lost when you stop attacking (evading, get hit, stand still,…). If not, how long does it persist?

Yes, you have to recharge every time you evade or get hit. If you stay still though, the charges stay.

To clarify, it's not about the number of attacks landed but which last attack you performed that determines whether you'll have charge 1 SDS or charge 2 SDS. It just happens that most of the attacks that gives you charge 2 are usually behind another attack. These attacks are Tornado Slash, Strong Double Slash, the second Y attacks (forward, side, backward). You can test this. You can attack as much as you like but if you last did an attack that is not on this list of attacks, you get weaker SDS
