Allow at the most 4 hours for an average size bathroom.
If you’ve spent 6 months as an apprentice grouting skilled tilers work then that’s the benchmark to aim for.
Are you running a rake tool through the joint before washing off?
Thats the one thing i always do when grouting any wall tiles point the joints gives a nice smooth even joint
 
Q

Qwerty

It's the one thing I've never done! Honestly, never done it and never needed to. Modern grouts just dont require it.

You could stick the joints first, a rarely seen process in the 21st century, it helps. Also the growth of rapid grouts like mapei etc are unnecessary with a ceramic generally, a standard type like Bal wall would be easier. Bring back the 80s, think of all the pegs you could get in those side satchel pockets.
