Not when there’s something to answer. Speed on a plan is logistics. Speed on nothing is watching your phone.
Not instantly. Half an hour says you saw it, without saying you were waiting for it.
Tomorrow, in daylight. Anything worth saying at 2am still works after coffee.
If it went well, that night or the next morning. The three-day rule is from before phones.
