Thank you for your patient

This phrase is incorrect. "Patient" is an adjective, not a noun, so it does not fit in this context.

The word "patient" is an adjective used to describe someone who is receiving medical treatment. To express gratitude for someone's understanding or tolerance, the correct phrase is "thank you for your patience."
