My prized Monstera almost died from a simple watering mistake

Last Tuesday, I gave it a full soak because the top soil felt dry (a rookie move, I know). By Thursday, the leaves were drooping and three had yellow edges. I panicked and checked the roots, finding them soft and brown in the pot's bottom. I had to cut away the rot and repot it into fresh, dry mix immediately. Has anyone else saved a plant from overwatering, and how long did it take to bounce back?

Is it really that big of a deal? Plants are tougher than we give them credit for. Mine have come back from worse.

Managed to save a pothos that way once. Took about a month to stop looking at me like I tried to kill it.
