- "variable amount of time"
is that minutes or hours?
I've tested on 2 accounts with basically no activity.- Greg-DBFor most users most of the time, it's on the scale of seconds or minutes, but it can be longer sometimes, on the scale of hours.
In some cases, backend issues on our side can also slow this down.- just tested again.
