A few days to up to 3 weeks. Ask your recruiter to follow up if there is a place you are really interested in.

This happened to me in the past, which can be extremely worrisome especially in today's market. Some firms tend to have a slow moving process or it's a period where key decision makers are tied up, but others have no excuse just dragging their feet. As mentioned above, you should have your recruiter follow up and see if they can get any details on the hold up. I even had firms that seemed super interested just ghost me. My candidacy probably remains unresolved to this day 😂.

Yesterday I had cleared Accenture interview or at least it was showing in the sent email or in the website that you have made it to HR round and next step would be to upload documents. But again today it's showing as 'Owing to business reasons we foresee some delay in processing your candidature. Once v have a suitable demand, commensurating ur background, experience and expertise, we shall reach out to you.
We highly appreciate ur patience and continued interest in Accenture job opportunities.'
