When servers need a SSH tunnel (VPN tunnel) to internal network resources, are they permanent connections?

So I just want to understand the concept for a vpn tunnel (ssh tunnel) connection for servers from another company coming into our company network. Is this vpn tunnel persistent or does the connection disconnect when not in use? I am comparing it to my own experience with vpn-ing into my company to access resources, and I disconnect when i'm done. Is this the same for servers that need to constantly poll systems in another corporate network, in that it just stays on all the time until you disconnect, or is this a different type of vpn where it stays on all the time?
