Pain after root canal treatment and its assessment

After treating the root canals of a tooth that is tender to percussion, when should the percussion tenderness resolve?

Translated version of the Turkish original

Percussion pain will stop as the inflammation subsides, and this can vary from case to case. Among the cases I have treated so far, the longest percussion pain has persisted was 1 month.
