How long does it take for a badge to be awarded?

Question

I recently completed 1000 reviews under the "Suggested Edits" category, but the badge has not been awarded yet.

How long should users expect to wait for a badge to show up?

D'oh! I was looking at your Meta profile. Well, congratulations anyway. In case you hadn't noticed, you seem to have it now. — Scott - Слава Україні, Commented Nov 7, 2015 at 3:44
I figured it would be a few hours or something, but I was surprised that no one has asked this yet — user201262, Commented Nov 7, 2015 at 14:30
Meta-questions that are not specifically about one community (e.g., tags, on-topic rules, etc.) tend to gravitate toward Meta Stack Exchange, where you can find How long does it take for badges to be awarded? How are they generated?, “Where's the badge I just earned?”, and others. — Scott - Слава Україні, Commented Nov 7, 2015 at 20:02

6-8 weeks, depending on whether the unicorn gets lost. GPS is so unreliable these days.

More seriously? I believe there's a daily task that runs for things like this, so you should see it in a day or two.
