The delay is normally between 5 to 15 minutes:

Specifically, here we're talking about the "metrics" Grafana (and
Prometheus!) user you folks have been sharing around with each other. I
don't know exactly how far it was shared, but you need to, now, let
those people know that this password will stop working soon.

Also be aware, as announced in TPA-RFC-33, that this effectively gives
access to all users with an LDAP account to the Prometheus server. When
we last discussed this, it was okayed by people here, but it's still
time to review that policy. It would be more complicated for us because
we'd need to grant access on a username basis (like "hiro can login")
but it's possible.

For TPA folks, that's in services/prometheus.torproject.org. You
*should* use your "web password" to operate prometheus on a daily basis
however: for now, you can write that in your .netrc file (like we do for
the KGB bot password), but I have plans to hook that up to pass(1)
instead.

Let me know if you think that should be expedited.
