When I set up my Pihole, I mistakenly left UDP port 53 open to the world and passing through to the Pihole. It got found and used within 4-5 days.
Noticed the Pihole stats for non-router clients (I made it to redirect all local outbound DNS traffic to itself) and fixed it but it was curious regardless. Thought it was going to be found and abused much sooner. Especially with such a prominent and well-known port as DNS.
