In my experience, the switch opens almost concurrently with the window reaching the extreme limits of its travel. When raising the window, for example, you can hear the motor stop within a fraction of a second of the window stopping in the UP position. Subsequent depressions of the switch on th UP side will result in the motor attempting to run for a fraction of a second, then stopping.

It appears to me that the switch cycles almost instantly.
