How long does the duplicate content penalty last?

I had a Wordpress blog with quite a few articles but eventually, I got fed up with running Wordpress on my server so decided to move my blogs over to Medium. I then imported all of my articles into Medium and then completely deleted the Wordpress blogs including DNS settings so there is absolutely no way anyone could ever access them again.

Unfortunately, my old blog is still indexed by Google because I have only just deleted them so when Google comes across my blog posts on Medium it will look like duplicate content. How long does it take for a deleted site to be removed from the Google cache? Unfortunately, I can't do 301 redirects for various reasons (mainly laziness as I have a lot of articles).
