All staking transactions of Polygon happen on Ethereum for security reasons.

The time taken to complete a transaction depends on the gas fees that you have allowed and also the network congestion of Ethereum mainnet at that point in time. You can always use the “Speed Up” option to increase the gas fees so that your transaction can be completed soon.

This period applies to the originally delegated amount and re-delegated amounts. It does not apply to any rewards that were not re-delegated.
