Default Quick question...Fuel Pressure test

Quick question here. When doing a fuel pressure test, once you shut the bike off, should the fuel pressure guage hold that pressure indefinitely or bleed down? If it is supposed to bleed down, how fast is too fast? I was told by the maker of a fuel pressure gauge, that it should never bleed down, even after sitting overnight. If you check it 12 hours later and it dropped from 58psi down to 20psi then you have a leak.
