Open your terminal and run this command

defaults write com.apple.notificationcenterui bannerTime SECONDS

where SECONDS is a number for how many seconds you want the banner to be displayed.

  • Well, it doesn't work again in Monterey, the defaults command takes no effect.

Currently, you cannot change the duration. But you can dismiss it manually by placing the cursor over the banner and doing a two finger swipe from left to right on a trackpad (or a one finger swipe on a magic mouse).
