i think it is predicted to occur somewhere between 10-50 thousand years from now, but of course that is like the 1-sigma error bar which means it has a small probability of occurring in the near future. however, the current understanding of it is that it doesn’t just flip instantly, we will see it moving and have plenty of time to react since it’s not particularly fast on a human timescale

That's the part that kind of freaks me out the most considering how scientists are noticing how much faster it's been moving:
