I just published an un-scoped npm package. I don't see it int he palette yet. I thought I recall my scoped version showing up immediately, but maybe I'm not remembering correctly. How long can it take for the palette install tab to show a newly published npm package?

Just trying to determine if I did something wrong or whether I just have to wait...

There is no automatic scanning for nodes any more - that was stopped a few months ago.

You need to submit it manually - [https://flows.nodered.org/add/node](https://flows.nodered.org/add/node)

Great. So after submitting it manually, how long can it take for it to show up in the palette?

The task that regenerates the catalog loaded by the Palette Manager runs every 30 minutes.
