How long will it take for the terminated instance to get removed from the console?

Documentation says (Terminating an Instance), Terminated instances temporarily remain in the list of instances with the status Terminated.

Is there any particular time limit for the terminated instance to be removed from the console?

The billing stops when the terminate API call succeeds. The instance should go to terminating while it cleans up resources and shuts things down. Currently it is configured so that once it has successfully transitioned to terminated it will remain visible in the console for around 12 hours.
