You set maxlifespan incorrectly which is why it went away after 2 hours.

The global timer is not per user. it's per server.

Don't set something if you don't need to adjust it.

so ill repeat the question: What should i set the settings to to keep the stone for 7days ?

the number increment is in seconds. so for 7 days you need 7 days worth of seconds.

these are the settings, it decays the same day instead of 7 days

[DeathRecovery]
DelayTimer=300
DisableDecay=false
DecayMultiplier=0.142857
MaxLifeSpan=10080
DisablePickup=false
UseOnce=true
ThereCanOnlyBeOne=false
useGlobalTimer=false

DecayMultiplier=0.142857 This is a multipler. The default is 7 days. Your changing it to a fraction of 7 days.

MaxLifeSpan=10080 This is not 7 days.

As stated in multiple places those are examples not the default. No settings are required if you want to use the default settings.

I agree wit OP, nothing is clear, not even the replies he got. Delay is for what? If you have disable decay, does it still disappear? So like he stated, he wanted 7 days to be available say every 15 mins, would that be :
[DeathRecovery]
DelayTimer=15
DisableDecay=false
DecayMultiplier=1
MaxLifeSpan=604800
DisablePickup=false
UseOnce=false
ThereCanOnlyBeOne=false
useGlobalTimer=false

no. That would make stone is usable very 15 minutes and lasts 7 days and goes poof.

The decay procress is what makes it take damage over time, if that damage is not repaired the stone will eventually break. Adjust the decay multiplier to speed up or slow down the rate of decay.

Maxlifespan is just that, the maximum amount of time the stone can exist. One setting has nothing to do with any other setting. Though the decayMultiplier has no function if DisableDecay is set.

Don't add a setting option to the ini file if your not going to use it's feature.
