Very usage dependant, as I understand it. Although the discs resist heat much better than steel discs, so you won't warp them, they are much easier to damage through contamination, physical damage (stone chips), dropping the wheel onto the disc when taking it off etc.
In theory, if you avoid physical damage, they should last over 100k miles.
Manufacturers have a specific process for assessing used discs in terms of their fitness for further use. A mix of physical inspection for cracks/chips and a minimum weight limit, which clearly involves removal of the disc to assess.
