As the probe would approach black hole the time around it will slow down and it would take thousands of thousands of years for the probe to fall in, from the probe perspective it would take a couple of minutes of course. Also after it crosses event horizon we can no longer get information what’s going on as even weightless radio waves are getting pulled in
