How long for full "Discovery" scan to complete after creation of a new Sensitive Information Type?
This probably isn't the information you were looking for, however, in the past when I have raised this question with Microsoft, they have not been able to give a definitive answer here. It doesn't appear there is an exact calculation on how long the scans should take outside of the more data you have, the longer it takes.
In that same breath, I have not been given or able to find the pattern in which the crawlers (Microsoft's term for what scans the data) process the data, which is why you are seeing older data appear before new data.
I understand you're working to give better timeline expectations to your director, similar to how I had to give this answer to my clients, and I know this is not ideal information. If I find that the answer to this has changed, I will certainly follow up on here if someone else hasn't already corrected me.
