Cats and lilies

I could really use some reassurement because I'm in fully panic mode right now.

On Friday noon, my cat might have gotten in contact with lilies in the garden (I was unaware of this until now). She never eats any plants, but she does sometimes bite them for a bit. Whenever we go outside, I would monitor her nibbling habits and she would always sniff but skip chewing on anything that's poisonous to her. Since she is 7-8 months old, I can't guarantee she didn't digest anything.

Since this happened, she hasn't exhibited any common symptoms that I found online. She was sick 10ish days prior to that and had decreased appetite which has started going back to normal (I feed her wet food). She isn't lethargic, hasn't been vomiting, and didn't lose appetite. As of her litter box habbits - I am unsure. I got her two months ago and when she first came to me, she used to urinate frequently (every few hours). In the period when she was sick, her urine output decreased which seemed logical since she wasn't eating properly (sticked greatly to dry food or boiled chicken). As she has gotten better and started eating can food again, her urine output increased and she goes approximately 5 times a day (more or less). Looking back, this might have increased a bit but nothing too dramatic. Again, her litter box habits are inconsisted so I can't say for sure. I also might be looking too much into it.

She has always been hyper. Yesterday I didn't have time to play with her so she was chill entire day. But today she's back at her playful self (maybe even too much).

Would symptoms show by now? Is she at risk? I heard that unless she receives treatment immediately it will be fatal and its been more than 5 days now which makes me super worried.
