If you just got promoted, your demotion shield lasts for 10 games. Demotion shields between divisions (i.e. IV -> III) last 3 games in case you're interested.

There isn't any defined amount of games when it comes to dropping to a lower tier. It will only happen if your MMR gets low enough, but generally its pretty hard to actually do.

When your MMR reaches a tier lower. If you're consistently being matched with Bronze 4 players, then you're a hair away from being demoted. A very easy way to tell without looking up the players you're being matched with is by looking at your LP gains. If you're Silver 4 and you're gaining 14 LP per win, then you're about 2 to 4 losses away. If you're gaining 12 LP per win then you're 1 to 2 losses away. If you're gaining 12 LP then for sure your next loss at 0 LP you're getting demoted.

Congrats on the promo! You have to lose an excessive amount to fall out of a 4. After being there for a lot of games, a friend lost 6 in a row at 0 lp, and only got a warning that their demotion shield was expiring after the last one.
