Linux gives processes a chance to gracefully close. However, it also will absolutely NOT allow a process to hang up the shutdown or restart procedure after a point. If you're using systemd (which there is a good chance you are), it'll count down. If the process hasn't stopped in the time allotted, it gets Old Yellered.
When I use systemctl shutdown it happens instantly
If a process closes immediately from the shutdown command because it isn't doing anything, sure.
Question, what's the default wait time?
The default in systemd, unless your distribution has modified it either globally, or for a specific service, is 90 seconds
Depends on the process. Can be 30 seconds. Can be 5 minutes.
