Catalyst 9800 flexconnect group latency

What is the maximum latency allowed between the WLC and the access point that is configured in flexconnect mode where the flexconnect group is configured for local authentication and local switching?

You can reference some of the AireOS guides for baselines:

Round-trip latency must not exceed 300 milliseconds (ms) between the access point and the controller, and CAPWAP control packets must be prioritized over all other traffic. In scenarios where you cannot achieve the 300-ms round-trip latency, configure the access point to perform local authentication.
