How long can it take until an iPhone gives a prompt & invitation to upgrade to the latest iOS version??

It's been 21 days since iOS 16.2 was released on 12/13/22 in the US. Contrary to my usual impulse, which is to go to Settings / General / Software Update and update as soon as it is released, I decided to sit and wait and see how long would it be until my iPhone says, "Hey... why don't you update?"

I have seen no red exclamation mark on the Settings icon and no notification in the shade. At this point, 3 weeks after the release, I am rather shocked I have seen nothing. I also have not gone to Settings...Software Update to "poke the bear."
