How long can most desert scorpions survive without food?

As the title says, how long can most desert scorpions survive without food cause I'm kinda in the
Situation where my crickets died and I haven't been able to go to the pet store to grab a few.
It's a Hoffmannius/Paravaejovis spinigerus and it has not been fed in around 11-12 days.

It should be fine. Scorpions have the ability to slow their metabolism to a third of that in similarly-sized insects. During lean times, the scorpions metabolic rate is the lowest of all invertebrates. At that pace, eating one insect can sustain a scorpion for up to a year. In order to turn down their metabolism, scorpions will simply engage in minimal activity.

My australis refuses food for months at a time with no apparent issues

That amount of time without food is in no way a detriment to a healthy scorpion.

Don't worry about it. Just feed it when you can.

They can go weeks without food.
