Genesis 7:17
And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
Genesis 8:2-3

The heavy rains of the flood lasted for 40 days. However, flood waters do not immediately go away when the rain stops. The waters prevailed on the earth for 150 days before they started to recede.
