Understanding Audit History and how it works

I've recently enabled the audit history on a table and have been pulling reports.   What I'm not understanding is that I have multiple records that are not showing in an appropriate time frame.   For example, an incident was closed on 4/15/15 but the audit for the state field did not show up until 5/2/15 which seems to have been provoked by querying the specific record.

The state was changed to Closed on 2015-04-27 10:36:03 and I just pulled this data.


How long does the complete audit history of a record take to show in the audit history?
