It may take five to ten minutes.
Or a few hours.
Sometimes longsr.
Sometimes they may never respond.

They will respond when they choose, however, it is good business to respond in 24 hours or less for an active contract.

Personally, I have hired over 100 freelancers on Upwork.
Often (not always but often) I hire freelancers quickly to help me with a task that I want done now.
I state this in the job posting. I state that I am looking for someone to help me immediately.
I post the job as a public job and also send some private invites.
For these jobs, I typically hire someone within ten to fifteen minutes. And then I close the job posting after I find someone.
So for THESE job postings... a freelancer replies very quickly... within fifteen minutes or less. If they don't, then they do not get hired.
