It's usually stated "for the time being," and means until the indefinite future.
In other words, you don't want to deal with the problem now.
Yeah, typical phrase is: It's okay for the time being. Meaning is "It's okay for now but maybe be better later"

"You can stay with us for the time being." "We've decided to do without a car for the time being."

if you describe how a situation will be for the time being, you mean it will be like that for a period of time, but may change in the future
