I went overboard on brewing. I have 6 kegs tapped .. 3 kegged and carbed...1 kegged and carbing and 2 ready to keg..... A couple of the kegged but not tapped ones are IPA's. one is a pliny clone and one is a black IPA.....the carbed ones are in a fridge NOT on gas. how long before I start losing hoppiness in the ipa's? I don't drink enough for this hobby.
how long in a keg?

Immediately. Of course it isn't an all or nothing type process. The hop aromas will slowly fade over time.
If it's going to take months to work through them, you'll probably notice. On the plus side, you can always dry hop in the keg right before you get ready to drink them.

I would devise a way to dry hop those kegs. I have several dry hopped kegs that have had their hop bags in for close to two months probably. The beers overall have lost a little something, but the hop character is still great. I've been pleasantly surprised.
