Just ensure you’re at terminal gravity (or x% above terminal if you spund). It could be 3 days or 10 days or 20 days. It’s up the the yeast to tell you when it’s done.
Bottle conditioning is simply waiting on the residual yeast to referment in the bottle to capture the CO2 to carbonate the beer for you, then allow it to clear if that matters to you. That could be one week, two weeks, three weeks... Lots of variables involved such as storage temp, yeast strain, avail sugars, etc.
Try one after a week if it needs more time let it take more time. It probably will. Then try one in another week. ...and on and on until you are pleased with the results. You’ll figure out what you prefer. No hard and fast rule.
There’s a lot of science to brewing. ...but there’s some art as well as pure f*ing black magic, too.
