Should be around 10 minutes (pending natural lag in the livestream etc.) There's usually a really big vent just prior to engine firing from the TEL.

Tweeted, but when I went to RT, it said action unavailable and that's because they deleted it.....sorry, which I could have grabbed the pics, but at least screenshot the deleted tweet.
Oh, they deleted it because they typoed. Proton 9
Anyway, they haven't tweeted the correction.....we get the message and the milestone.
