Does anyone know the process Polish citizens will need to follow to apply for the UK ETA starting in March 2025? How long does the whole procedure take, and how quickly is the approval usually granted?

although the website states "72 hours, 3 working days", the actual experience for Americans applying for this is that approval happens quite quickly within just a few minutes.
