Container-Optimized OS images Automatic Update questions

When using Container-Optimized OS images, I understand they Autoupdate, but require an instance reboot.
(as per https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs/concepts/auto-update )

Is there a way to determine if there has been an update and an instance reboot is needed? a pending reboot or something?
Via the Console and/or some gcloud command?

Also, if a new instance is built from a COS Image that is behind a few build versions, how soon would the updates be applied to that instance? minutes, hours?

ex: instance is built and booted  from cos-109-17800-218-44 image. The latest in that milestone is cos-109-17800-218-52.
What would be the expected time frame for that to be applied, and a reboot needed to run on cos-109-17800-218-52.?

Thanks
