about three minutes
Depending on your water pressure, a tank usually refills in about three minutes. If it’s slow to fill or it’s not filling at all, try the shut-off first. Make sure the water shut-off is completely open for maximum water flow. If it’s not completely open, that may account for your slow-fill issues.
Why is my toilet still running after flushing?

This causes the toilet to keep running after a flush, potentially instigating water damage in the long run. To correct the water level, you will need to lower the toilet float.
How much water should be in your toilet tank?
The water in the tank should rest 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) below the fill valve and overflow tube (the large open pipe near the center of the tank). If it seems higher or lower than this level, your water level may be off-balance.
How do I adjust the toilet flow valve?
Turn an adjustment screw located on the top of the valve. To raise the water level, turn the adjustment screw clockwise; to lower the water level, turn the screw counterclockwise.
