The auto assessment takes 30-60 seconds.
I believe
@Kangol is saying that manual assessment after the bot has
declined the request is a P1-only benefit.
I don't know whether the bot has declined my previous WP requests. The rep lodged the request with the bot, the request wasn't approved on the spot, and was then sent for manual assessment. But maybe the bot is capable of more than just approve/decline responses, and when a request is borderline, the bot sends it for manual assessment instead of declining? We will never know unless someone with hands-on experience of how the system operates can chime in.
In any case, it's clear from all the responses that there was some level of manual assessment for WP requests prior to the pandemic. As far as I'm aware, that hasn't been reinstated at this time. If the bot does not say yes, the answer is no.
