When, exactly, does the EM wave cease to exist?

I don't know exactly but it will be when DC steady-state has been
achieved, i.e. when electrons are no longer being accelerated or
decelerated.

More evasion. So are now saying there may indeed be an EM wave
present with DC? Even with DC, the electrons are not moving with
constant velocity but hop from atom to atom. Seems like
acceleration and deceleration to me.

DC does not an EM wave make... nor does one year make DC, the
summation is infinite, you must wait FOREVER for DC to be achieved and
by then you just won't care any more

But previously you said the line would settle after one round trip if
the source was matched. How is this consistent with having to wait
forever?
