If there's no "until" date on your US entry stamp, how long can you stay as an ESTA holder?

You’re allowed to stay for 90 days, unless you were exceptionally given a shorter stay.

The passport stamp is not legally binding regarding the duration of your stay, your admission record is, and it’s found here. It will say by what date you have to leave the US

Under the VWP, you are allowed to stay in the United States for up to 90 days. See https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/visit/visa-waiver-program.html for more information.

If you return for a subsequent trip before the expiration date of a prior period of admission, the officer can readmit you for the remainder of the original period, but only if you haven’t departed from “contiguous territory” and “adjacent islands” (Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean). If you have been in any other country, you should be given a new 90-day admission.

If you are readmitted for the remainder of a previous period of admission, the original “until” date should be written on the new stamp.

If the new stamp has no date then you should look it up, as recommended in user102008’s answer, at https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/.

They don’t always write a date on the stamp in the passport. Before I-94s were made electronic, I don’t think they ever wrote a date on the stamp in the passport; they just wrote a date on the stamp on the I-94 (which was stapled to your passport). Since 2013, people entering by air get electronic I-94s, and they usually write the I-94 expiration date on the stamp on the passport as a matter of convenience (since people don’t have the paper I-94 to look at anymore, and people shouldn’t always need to look up the electronic I-94). But if they forget to write it, it’s no big deal. The date is just the I-94 expiration date, and you can look it up here.
