I have configured the Azure Traffic manager with two endpoints and could access the traffic manager. I thought of validating the scenario where endpoints are disabled, so I have disabled both the endpoints
to my surprise, still the traffic manager url is accessible for about ~2 mins. Is this expected?
It's expected.
When you enable or disable the endpoint status, it controls the availability of the endpoint in the Traffic Manager profile. The underlying service, which might still be healthy, is unaffected. When an endpoint status is disabled, Traffic Manager does not check its health, and the endpoint is not included in a DNS response.

Also this note:
Disabling an endpoint has nothing to do with its deployment state in Azure. A healthy endpoint remains up and able to receive traffic even when disabled in Traffic Manager. Additionally, disabling an endpoint in one profile does not affect its status in another profile.
