A capacitor will take a charge essentially instantly, but there’s still the question of how great that initial charge is. It could be a lot. It could be negligible. The initial amount depends on many factors: charging voltage and capacitor design, among others.
As time goes on, the capacitor will accept more and more charge until a max is reached.
