Hi @sandipgorai ,
Usually its takes 3-4 hours but what i had absorbed that if many modules are enabled in instance then its take little bit longer.

Hi @sandipgorai
Indeed, the time it takes can vary based on the level of customization in your instance. For a less customized environment or one that has just been reset and upgraded, it can be much faster—like in your case, where it only took 40 minutes.
For heavily customized instances, the upgrade process might take longer due to conflict resolution and post-upgrade testing. Proper preparation, like resetting or cleaning up unnecessary configurations, can significantly reduce the upgrade time.
If my response proves useful, please indicate its helpfulness by selecting " Accept as Solution" and " Helpful." This action benefits both the community and me.
