It says my .onion addres is reachable at bitnodes.io yet no inbound connections in GUI on peers. I only get outbound connections. Does it take a couple of hours before inbound connections can find me? The outbound connections I get it after 5 mins. Have only runned my node for 45 mins with Tor, and yes I'm fully synced with the blockchain.

If somone could help, It would be appreciated🙏

On the Tor interface, you can only connect other Tor nodes, which naturally means that you'll get new connections much more slowly than on the clearnet interfaces.

The outbound addresses get peers faster because Bitcoin Core is literally using a static list of trusted peers from Github for them.

If Bitnodes can connect to your node, that means that others can as well.
That time when you query your onion address in Bitnodes, their node was momentarily added to your inbound connection for a few seconds, if you didn't noticed it.

And Yes, it could take a few minutes to get inbound connections since it depends if your current outbound peers have good connections as well.
Like mine for example which has onlynet=onion (so my outbound connections are all .onion) takes a few minutes (in just 1 minute or hours sometimes) to get one inbound connection.
