How long is Facebook caching the sharing thumbnails? I've added a custom thumbnail for my page using:

<meta property="og:image" content="/path/to/my/image" />

But on pages my previous image is displayed => it is cached somewhere on FB servers.

Any ideas how to flush that cache or how long does it take once FB loads a new image?

Check the page with Facebook URL Linter, it seems to reload the thumbnails images in the cache.
