Time Required to Create a Zendesk Premium Sandbox
How long does it take to create a premium sandbox in Zendesk?
The time it takes to create a premium sandbox in Zendesk varies based on the amount of data being replicated. A simple metadata copy might take a few minutes to a few days, while a full production copy with extensive data, like 100,000 tickets, can take up to a week or more.
During this time, the sandbox configuration changes rapidly, so it's best to wait until the replication is complete before using it. Once finished, the sandbox status will change to Active, indicating it's ready for use.
