I can get by with just 2 hrs plug in time if I just want to aid start up. Also I have a temp guage in my vent so I can see what temps come out of it and after being plugged in 2 hrs when above zero, backing it out of garage, close the garage door and then drive for 4 block I can get 60-70 degree heat, but then I also have a winter front.

2 hours or 20...... The wait to start light will go off as quickly as it does in warmer weather. When the vehicle starts up, the needle will drop as soon as the coolant starts to circulate thru the bypass hose.
I have left mine on for 2 solid days in zero degree weather. Doesn't really make the truck warm up that much quicker.
The trick to heat is a unfolded pizza box in front of just the radiator itself. Between the rad and the intercooler.
Good luck with your ride
