Think of turning a garden hose off. The valve is way back at the house and you have varying length of hose. If it’s 25ft of hose then it will empty out faster than 100ft of hose. If you’re talking about instructions to wait 30 seconds, that’s probably way more than necessary, but getting a good reset is essential when troubleshooting to dump anything bad in short term memory.
