How many hours do you wait before you upvote your Reddit comment?
I am thinking of during with 3 hours. But I am not sure if it is okay. What works for you?

There’s no fixed wait time imo. What matters most is avoiding spikes.
A slower, gradual ramp always looks more natural than dropping votes all at once, no matter how long you wait. Spacing matters more than the exact number.

For me anything between 1–4 hours feels natural as long as the account isn’t idle otherwise.

Upvoting after 2 4 hours works well long enough for your comment to settle, but still early enough to get visibility.

Waiting a couple of hours usually balances visibility and natural activity early enough to be noticed, but not so fast it looks automated.

No specific pattern, just act "normal" within sub other posts. If subs top posts get 100upvotes in 5min, you are safe in that range, don't send 1000 in 5 min. Just be mindful

From experience, I usually set it for an hour. There haven't been any blockages yet, but again, as mentioned above, there is no fixed time; it's all very intuitive.

I follow 2-3 hour window usually. Seems to keep things safe and natural.

ngl there’s no perfect “magic number” you gotta follow tbh. from what most ppl here are doing, waiting 1–4 hrs after your comment posts feels the most natural imo, gives it time to settle before adding any votes so it doesnt look sus.
