Three to five days, generally. Depends, of course, on how accurately you answer your reviews.

3D was changed to 2D tho. And instead of 24h it’s 23h I believe.

Pretty sure that is only for the introductory levels, to help speed things along at the beginning when you don’t have guru / master items from previous levels to review in conjunction with new items.
thanks 
No, it’s for all of them. That’s why you can complete a level in less than a week (though only by hours) these days.
4+8+23+47 = 82
82*2 = 164
164/24 = 6.83 days for a lesson (roughly, might be off by an hour or two).
If the 3 day rule remained it would be impossible to complete a level in a week.

The intro levels have completely different timescales. The new minimum is a day faster than it used to be and it has been since like December.
It was a recent addition! Like for 2-3 months now, all items hit Guru 1 day sooner (except for radicals which were already a day quicker).
I should make an updated graphic that we can just post whenever somebody asks. Also, any time that it mentions days it is one hour less. So 4 months is actually 119 days and 23 hours.

I think the graphic was rounding up an hour for simplicity’s sake. I was thinking of making an updated graphic myself (and I think I even offered to do so for WK when I emailed about changing it for the guide/FAQ. Should’ve done it then). You’ll probably beat me to it…

thank you for this chart, really comes in handy! @alexbeldan
No problem. I pulled out straight from Wanikani’s… FAQ or something…
Edit: Keep in mind that it has been updated to quicker timings.
