Woah - not sure getting shitty is the way to go here!
I suspect your answer is going to be ‘it depends’. In my experience quoted weight limits are often v low but you should clarify for your specific chosen pannier.
I use SW motech soft panniers on hard mounts, in conjunction with a dry bag and this was fine for 3 months on the road with the usual camping gear, clothes, spares etc. Bags held up fine in themselves but the plastic mounting clips that held the bag to the rail were not up to the job (need to be secured with cable ties) and the strap rings gave way pretty fast. I just took some ratchet straps to keep things secure.
Couldn’t give you a specific weight (suspect this is why others have not replied) but i’d guess i was running 10-12 kgs per side bag max.
