[RPG] How long does the frightened condition last

dnd-5efear

I am DM in a game where one player likes to use the intimidation skill and menacing attack. I can't find anywhere that tells me how to get rid of the frighted condition so every time he uses either of those, the monsters are basically useless because they can't move up or land an attack forever. So, how long does the frightened condition last?

Varies Wildly

The specific source will list its specific duration.
For your specific case, Menacing Attack says how long it lasts - "On a failed save, it is frightened of you until the end of your next turn." - so it automatically ends at the end of the player's next turn.

More generally, effects that cause Fear allow subsequent saving throws to end the effect early and it automatically ends after a listed duration.
