Of the top of my head there are some delays in the code do with schema synchronisation and bootstrapping. I’m not sure if it adds up to two minutes but it sounds ok. But the two minute window would allow a new node to startup, join, sync the schema and start the bootstrap process.

If you see the new node as JOINING state ( cannot remember what that is in nodetool status) you should be ok to go.
