Once subscriptions have been paid in full, how long is the average wait time?

The FAQ says up to 24 hours - is this accurate?

Thanks

    Hi Azure Control Account

    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    Yes you are correct, It can take up to 24 hours for your subscription to get reactivated after you pay your balance.

    Please note: After your subscription is reactivated, there might be a delay in creating or managing resources. If the delay exceeds 30 minutes, contact Azure Billing Support for assistance. Most Azure resources automatically resume and don't require any action. However, we recommend that you check your Azure service resources and restart them if, if necessary.
