Hello,
congratulations on earning a Microsoft certification!
Based on my experience:
You get your exam result immediately presented after finishing an exam. You should also get an email from mswwprog@microsoft.com within minutes after completing all the steps you need to get a certification (for some it takes 2 exams :)). You can see the exam within hours in the credential tab of your Microsoft account:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/users/<Your Account>/credentials/exams?tab=credentials-tab
The badge always showed within 24h on the same page.
Hope that helps!
BR Josef
