Notarization Time

Hi, I'm currently at 19 hours waiting for notarization. My dev account is new and this is the first time I'm submitting anything to be notarized. I've gathered from my research that this is normal (unfortunately). I figure the only thing I can do is wait, but is there any way for me to know if I'm waiting for a human to manually review it? I was going to file a support request, but I saw that they won't be responding to any support requests until after their Thanksgiving break, and I assume nobody is manually reviewing notary submissions for the next week+. I attached the submission below, thanks!

"Your post is being reviewed and will be published if approved." 😭 so I'm not getting any answers for the next week at least lol

Oh, wow... Thanksgiving is unfortunate... I'm having the very same problem: first-time submission and 16h+ 'In Progress'... Okay, I guess it's 'normal'.

You can expect that most uploads will be notarised quickly. Occasionally, some uploads are held for in-depth analysis and may take longer to complete. As you notarise your apps, the system will learn how to recognise them, and you should see fewer delays.
