Default Oil level display

My oil level reading was at +0.7 straight after oil change at the main dealers that I had done earlier in the year.

Last week reading dropped to +0.6

Added approx 250 ml . Expected oil reading to show higher, which it didn't. Still at +0.6

Bit of research later ( yes I know I should have read the manual earlier ) and realise the reading is the long term reading

So, did the instant reading using the sport button and it shows +1.1

Not worried about the high level as I only added a small amount. Question is, how long / how many miles does it take for the long term reading to catch up or match the instant reading ?

Half an hour of steady driving should do it.
