"You can stay with us for the time being." "We've decided to do without a car for the time being."

if you describe how a situation will be for the time being, you mean it will be like that for a period of time, but may change in the future

"for the time being" - for now, but probably not forever

It's usually stated "for the time being," and means until the indefinite future.
In other words, you don't want to deal with the problem now.

Yeah, typical phrase is: It's okay for the time being. Meaning is "It's okay for now but maybe be better later"
