Direct answer
Nobody knows for sure yet. Lanterns only calls John Stewart a new Green Lantern Corps recruit, so he’s early in the job but has no confirmed number of days, months, or years behind him.
Detailed explanation
## What’s confirmed
Official descriptions set up John as the new recruit alongside Hal Jordan, a veteran known as a “Lantern legend.” That makes John the inexperienced half of the partnership at the start.
## No exact timeline yet
No released episode, trailer, or official synopsis says when John got his ring. “New recruit” could mean very recently or simply early in his Corps career.
## Don’t use the comics as a stopwatch
Lanterns is part of the new DCU, so John’s comic history—and other live-action DC versions—doesn’t automatically apply to Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart.
