Hello, The best resource on this topic is the help center article on determining your data's freshness <https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2544985?hl=en>. Unfortunately, there is no time limit on when fraudulent clicks might be removed, and as the article mentions, it's even possible that it could roll into the next month which would require a billing adjustment.
Unfortunately, there is no alert as such that this is occurring, except that the data is removed from reporting.
