Drastic Changes in Wait Step for PDF-generating Bot

Hello,

I have an app automation that Generates a PDF any time a new parent record is created. The PDF is a template working from a parent record with a start expression referencing child records (image below).

I did some research beforehand to find out why the child records were not populating so I added a Wait step to allow the child records to save before the automation triggers. This works great and retrieves all of the records once the automation completes.

However, I have a problem with the Wait step. Even though the Wait period is set to 5 minutes, it will often take an hour or more before the pdf is created and added into the default drive folder (See below).

My question: is there a way to ensure the pdf is generated within a closer timeframe (or at least a predictable amount of time)? Does it have anything to do with the app not being deployed? 
Any and all insight is appreciated,

Best,

Zach F
