After a solo Cayo Perico finale, the official cooldown is three in-game days: 144 minutes, or 2 hours 24 minutes. After a finale with a group, Rockstar announced a one in-game day cooldown: 48 minutes. Those are the waits before replay eligibility, not the time needed to complete the next set of preparations.

How long is the cooldown for each play style?

Finale type Officially stated cooldown Equivalent real time
Solo Three in-game days 144 minutes (2 hours 24 minutes)
With a group One in-game day 48 minutes

Rockstar Support says solo finales can be completed once every three in-game days. Rockstar’s announcement for The Criminal Enterprises states that solo finales trigger a three-day cooldown and that group heists have a one-day cooldown. The minutes shown above convert those in-game days at 48 minutes per day.

Has the cooldown changed in the latest update?

The latest surfaced official update notes, dated October 1, 2026, cover changes to how often repeat Cayo Perico targets appear; they do not announce a change to the replay cooldown. The stated solo rule remains three in-game days in Rockstar Support’s replay guidance. The group figure comes from Rockstar’s earlier announcement; the October 2026 notes do not revisit it.

Target appearance rates and replay cooldowns are separate mechanics: changes to which target may appear do not, by themselves, change how long you must wait to start another finale.

What if Pavel has not called?

Rockstar Support advises waiting for the cooldown if Pavel has not called. Its guidance does not specify whether the timer pauses while you are offline, the exact moment the timer starts, or a guaranteed time for the call. Those details should not be treated as confirmed rules.
