Golden Pills use the recharge time of the pill they mimicked. Recharge time is unaffected by whether or not it was a normal pill or Horse Pill.

Note that because the recharge time is determined after using the pill, Placebo cannot be used as a way to narrow down what type of pill Isaac is holding before he uses it.
