Looks like a few days...48 hours at least. Musk seems to indicate a 'few' days though.

From Twitter:

Learned a lot today, now offloading propellant, retrying in a few days …

...obviously, too, they have to get that pressurant valve fixed that apparently froze during today's launch attempt before they can try again. THAT could, conceivably, take longer than 2-3 days to troubleshoot and ensure it is working properly (or change it out).

Looks like the April 20 date is still on target. From SpaceX website:

"SpaceX is targeting as soon as Thursday, April 20 for the first flight test of a fully integrated Starship and Super Heavy rocket from Starbase in Texas. The 62 minute launch window opens at 8:28 a.m. CT and closes at 9:30 a.m. CT."
