Salesforce Flow Scheduled Paths: 1 minute delay on record update on creation

Hello!
I am trying to build an After Save Flow that triggers on creation with 1 minute delay, on the object Event.
My flow checks on has multiple decisions and updates the Event record at the end, also updates the WhoId(Lead or Contact) record related to the record that I got through a get action.
However, even though I have the schedule path created as shown in the picture, the record updates instantly. I tried adding more minutes or hours to the scheduled path, and it didn't work either.
Is this the expected behaviour?
I am not sure I am understanding the process of the Scheduled Paths correctly so I appreciate any help on making a flow that updates the record with delay. Thank you!

After reaching to support, they told me the best way to create a Scheduled Path is to first create the path and test it with a small assignment or action, and then proceed to build the rest. I did it first on the inmediatly path and then copied that to the 1minute delay path, maybe that was the issue..

Lukesh, thank you for answering.
I do have it under the 'Scheduled Path' way. Maybe it doesn't work on record creation?
I will reach to support for more info.
