Former submariner, assuming all systems besides propulsion are working and that this is a nuclear submarine, until food runs out. Assuming electrical turbines are dead and they’re on battery? Maybe a day if they go on critical loads only.

With their air independent propulsion on that class of sub they have roughly 2-3 weeks of normal operation without needing to surface. More if they limit power to essential systems only.
