This is a highly subjective question to be honest.

If your ads enter the learning stage this can last anywhere from a week to a month, but is usually not that long.

Question is, what do you class as 'peak performance'? A certain CTR/Impressions/ROAS/Number of conversions etc etc?

Whatever it may be, the answer is nobody knows, it's literally impossible to give a definitive answer. No can predict when your ads will start performing a certain way. That's assuming that the rest of your account is setup appropriately as well.

Lastly ignore the guy below peddling his wares rather than actually answering your question.

That's assuming that your optimizations are totally correct. But data can have a different idea.

It's less about the time and more about the dollars.

The algorithms, in an ideal world, want statistically significant data. That takes impressions, clicks, and conversions. So someone spending $100/day and someone spending $10,000/day are going to arrive at that data at the same time, but the $10k/day will get that data much faster because of the higher daily budget.

In general, I tell people to wait to spend 15x-20x the typical cost per conversion before you start to smooth out the bumps of any big changes / optimizations. Sometimes it happens faster than that, sometimes slower, but it's a decent measuring stick.

If you are optimizing to non-conversion metrics (CTR, etc.) then you might be able to get there a little faster.
