How long does the bootloader unlock take now?

Last time I did it with my Redmi Note 3 it took me a day but I might have been lucky

It depends. I haven't been able to find any official word from Xiaomi about it. Some get instant unlocks, some get 3-day, 7-day, 15-day, 30-day or 60-day waiting periods.

I will say that I had two devices in the waiting period. One at 15 days and the other at 30 days. I waited 15 days and unlocked one.
Then I went to check on the remaining hours of the second device and it had been reset to 30 days :/

So it may have something to do with how many phones you've unlocked in X amount of days.

You boot into TWRP by simply booting into Recovery Mode (since TWRP is overwriting the Xiaomi Recovery)

This person says their PC (presumably a desktop) gave them that error, but was able to bypass it by trying the unlock on the laptop

So maybe it's an issue with a version of Windows?
Maybe it's an issue with USB drivers?

Are you sure because it's my new phone and I don't want to take any risks. I know this is a risky thing to do so

Hay folks i have question
Unlook tool shows some warnings about fingerprint sensor that it wont be functional after unlocking.
Did this happen to anyone?
I Am asking just to be safe i don't want to regret unlocking my new device.
Can you please tell me if unlocking will break any thing?? (Like other oems do).
Thank you
