I accidentally dropped my Google Pixel 9 Pro in a puddle for about 5 seconds, and it notified me that there was water in the port. I turned it off and waited for 2 hours, then rebooted it and the notification has disappeared. Since the phone is supposedly water resistant, how long should I really wait before using it again? Is it safe to use it now, or should I hold off for a day or two?

You're mostly in the clear! I once dunked my S25 Ultra in the bath for about 20 seconds. I just blew air into the port for a bit, and after a day, I used wireless charging without issue. It sounds like your phone's notification is gone, so just avoid using the port for a day, check the mic and speakers, and you should be good to go!
You're perfectly fine! The Pixel 9 Pro has an IP68 rating, meaning it can handle being submerged in fresh water up to 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes. You could have used it right after pulling it out! Just make sure the charging port is completely dry before using a cable. You can wirelessly charge it in the meantime, and even if there's still moisture in the port, the phone will refuse to charge instead of getting damaged.
