Its rare to take that long, usually within 15 minutes I see them, but every once in awhile, it takes longer than usual.
How long does/should a Sign-In Log take to show in Sign-In Logs?

When a user attempts to sign in but the sign in fails, they are given a request ID.
Entering that Request ID into Azure AD Sign-in logs initially returns nothing. 5 minutes goes by, click refresh, nothing. 10 minutes, nothing. Half an hour, hit the refresh button, up comes the sign in log.
Is this by design? Seems strange that a relatively simple log doesn't immediately show in Azure(/Entra).

However last sign in could take up to 24hr I have seen this before check this documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/monitoring-health/reference-log-latency
