Default Successfully reglued bridge?

Hi folks! So, the title pretty much sums it up. Not discussing techniques or anything. It's a classical guitar, bridge came out due to steel strings on a classical. I've cleaned old glue residues, assured wood to wood contact, titebond and clamps... Two days clamped and two more without clamps. It plays like a dream now, no sign of bridge coming off again and no gaps between bridge and top.

But, it was my first time attempting this kind of repair, so I'm quite unsure about it. There's a part of me which believes the bridge could pop out anytime.

So, my question is, how long after regluing the bridge and playing it for a couple of hours a day should it take to say "job done"? Approximately, of course.

A friend of mine said that if it doesn't pop out in a week, means it won't pop anymore, except for extreme temperatures and humidity factors. Is he right?

Thanks!
