Regular International Correspondence Chess Federation correspondence chess is 3 days / move. You can accumulate, i.e. if you play e.g. opening moves or obvious recaptures instantly, then you can spend 1 week and more for the crucial moves. ICCF players use all that time and more. As an ICCF champion once said: in correspondence the one who goes to bed later, wins.
Correspondence games usually last longer than a year. The top players use all the available time to come up with near perfect moves. They analyse 20-30 moves deep. As neither side misses tactics, the games are often decided by strategic nuances.
30 minutes for 1 move is usual in regular over the board classical play.
