How long until score bounces back up?

I got a new Macy's card recently and it just started showing on my CR.  My TU score dropped 6 points.  How long does it take to bounce back up?

It should recover after the next cycle. 6 points is for the new tradeline being opened. Don't even sweat it.

Current FICO 9 Scores

IME the recovery time has been 3-6 months.

Within 6 months it will have made up for that drop, and be adding more points to it.
