soak time
Submersion waiting interval
Soak time is the period something must sit after a process completes—letting a steak rest after cooking, waiting after applying a chemical treatment, or allowing a system to stabilize after changes.
In marketing, it's the interval between receiving a message and acting on it.
The term implies that absorption or settling continues even when active work has stopped: Give it a few minutes of soak time before you check the results.
