As mentioned above, this depends on the edit grace period. You can shorten the edit grace period in Admin, Site Settings to accelerate the notifications. But I don’t recommend setting it lower than 1 minute.

And just as a reminder, for existing users, they must edit their user preference. Only new users will be affected by the new preference default.
