The scheduled task runs on a regular base, manually triggering the task will not expedite updates.
The update engine will try to apply the update after it has been downloaded and extracted. It will continue to try to apply the update every 90 minutes. It will apply the update during reboot. It will try to apply update during "OS is locked + OS is in idle". If these attempts were not successful, it will show prompt to user after "first attempt + your deadline value", in parallel it will continue to try to apply the update.

Microsoft"Report about Office updates":
If your devices are running Microsoft 365 Apps, we recommend using the Security Update Status page: https://config.office.com/officeSettings/currency. The report shows you the current state of your inventory related to security. As devices are uploading a current inventory snapshot every 24 hrs, the shown data is on average just 12 hrs behind reality.
If you have other Office releases like Office 2019/2021 in your mix, Intune might be the better tool. But again, Intune can only show you managed devices, while Security Update Status page shows you all Microsoft 365 Apps instances which are connected to your tenant.
