  Typically, the time it takes for bitcoin to be credited to your Coinbase account from an external wallet can vary. It depends on several factors such as network congestion, transaction fees, and the speed at which the external wallet processes the transaction. In general, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours for the bitcoin to be credited to your account. However, in some cases, it may take longer, especially during periods of high network activity.

  From my experience, it usually takes around 10-30 minutes for the bitcoin to be credited to my Coinbase account from an external wallet. However, please note that this timeframe can vary depending on the factors mentioned earlier. If you're experiencing a delay, it's best to check the transaction status on the blockchain explorer to see if the transaction has been confirmed.
