Few minutes to never. It's unpredictable. One has to monitor, if it does not come out in 7-10 days then better get it removed.

5 mm is a borderline calculus. And 1 dimension of calculus is not predictable of passing. We need info on all 3 dimensions and shape of calculus to know if there is chance of passing. Even a stone of 2-3 mm if causing oedema and inflammation may not pass and a large stone but length wise only may pass easily.
Next Steps
Please get proper investigations(NCCT KUB) and consult a urologist
