On Wednesday, the Gripen NG prototype sustained Mach 1.2 at 28,000 feet without the use of afterburners, though it did use reheat to get to Mach 1.2, and then went full military power to settle to a speed, which it held until it "ran out of test area."
No idea on how long the test ran, but my guess would be something on the order of 10-30 minutes total.
