The writer of the linked essay addressed how long it will take to cool off in a previous essay.
>The good news is that if we stopped all carbon dioxide emissions tomorrow, the natural carbon cycling processes of the earth would drain the extra carbon we have added to the atmosphere and temperatures would stabilise and then fall. The bad news is that it would take about 100,000 years to get back to preindustrial levels.
And then that difficulty peaks and falls… because enough humans perish that they just can’t extract and use enough fossil fuels to keep it going up anymore

Yeah once the pot of water is boiling, turning off the heat doesn't instantly cool it off.
