No reliable answer to that question because people can only tell you what has already happened...not what will happen. And what
IS happening will be different next year or maybe sooner.
In my 35 years in Part 121 (and observations afterward) I've seen upgrades go from a few years to never. The list of variables affecting upgrade times is almost endless.
While we all understand the interest in this facet of pilot life, upgrade is merely one factor. It's a marathon not a sprint. FWIW, it took my contemporaries and I 15 years (and a furlough or two).
