Is taking 6 hours to respond to a second round interview invite too long?

I was at work and didn’t check my email until the afternoon. So I did not notice that HR sent me an email in the morning asking me for my availability for a second round interview. By the time I responded, 6 hours have already lapsed since the time HR reached out to me about the second round interview. Did I take too long? Would this be viewed negatively
