Waiting for Review for 11/9 days (2 apps) — normal queue time or something account-related?

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to sanity-check App Store review queue times and see if there’s anything I might be missing.

I currently have two iOS apps sitting in “Waiting for Review” with no movement:

  • App 1: Apple ID 6758135741 — submitted Feb 6, 2026 at 5:42 PM (11 days in “Waiting for Review”)
  • App 2: Apple ID 6758885884 — submitted Feb 8, 2026 at 4:33 PM (9 days in “Waiting for Review”)

In App Store Connect I don’t see any warnings, messages, or visible account issues. Builds uploaded successfully and metadata looks complete.

A couple questions for anyone who’s seen this recently:

  1. Are 9–11 day “Waiting for Review” times currently normal due to queue volume?
  2. Are there common “silent blockers” that can keep an app in this state even without an obvious warning (e.g., Agreements/Tax/Banking, export compliance/encryption, missing compliance answers, etc.)?
  3. If this seems unusual, what’s the best next step—Support ticket, Resolution Center, or an expedite request?

Thanks in advance for any insight. If helpful, I can share the app category and whether it uses IAP, sign-in, or encryption.
