Arrest Warrants: How Does a Bench Warrant for Missing Jury Duty in Florida Work

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida

I received a jury duty summons in the mail to report for jury duty in Miami-Dade County on Monday, August 14th.

I will be out of town on Monday, August 14th, so I requested a postponement of my jury duty to another date (Monday, September 11th).

I followed all of the instructions on the jury duty summons for requesting postponement (completing all of the relevant areas of the summons and then mailed it back to the courthouse address, as indicated in the instructions).

My concern is what if the courthouse does not receive my mailed back summons requesting postponement before my originally scheduled August 14th jury duty reporting date? I sent it via first class regular mail yesterday, so I am assuming that is enough time for them to receive and make note of my request, but just in case they don't receive it before August 14th, how soon would a bench warrant be issued for me missing jury duty on August 14th?

I will be reporting for jury duty on my requested rescheduled date of September 11th, but since that is four weeks after the original August 14th reporting date, would a bench warrant potentially be issued before I have a chance to report for my rescheduled jury duty date?

Unfortunately I can't get out of my travel commitment on August 14th as I have a work presentation, and the soonest possible Monday I am able to reschedule the jury duty is four weeks later on September 11th.

Any help would be appreciated as I am not familiar with how the bench warrant process or timing works.

Thank you.
