Note for those like me who have plenty of images opened, modified, and it would be *really* a PITA to restart Gimp:

You can select_all + copy + file New + paste.
The new image will apply the new Grid settings.

Gimp ergonomics...

Do this only if your image has only one layer (not mentioning selection, channels, and paths), otherwise you'll lose work.

But you didn't read the rest, to change the grid for the current image, see Image ➤ Configure grid...

User reading abilities....
