I'll let you all know how it goes.
The 50k cap limits how many flights can be sold, if you already have one booked, you don't need to worry about it. I'd double check that the flight is actually happening with the class you booked though.

The FAQ says it takes 5 working days, reports seems to indicate it goes a bit faster than that.
