Pots used to be locked locked - and the only way to unlock them was to message COps (or wait it out till when you locked it).
They changed their thinking and there was a lot of debate here:
All in all its a mixed bag as to whether or not they are truly “locked” now - but Monzo did say this was something they were thinking about/ looking into.
I think there was a delay like you mentioned banded about by other forum users - but nothing else to add to date!
