once you file to stop legal actions, how muchtime do you have to put everything together for the discharge

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking when you say "put everything together."  Are you talking about filing an emergency petition without any of the schedule or statement of financial affairs?  If so, you must file any remaining documents within 15 days unless you obtain an extension from the court.  If you don't, your case will be dismissed.
