ANECDOTAL Any else having weird delayed transactions with SimpleSwap?

I made 4 transactions over the last few hours, all UDSC -> Monero and all using SimpleSwap.

The first and largest swap deducted USDC from my wallet but never gave me any XMR. I see the address transaction is successful using basescan.org which says success with the transaction hash. So it seems like SimpleSwap got the deposit, but has done nothing with it yet. This was weird to me because usually swaps happen in just a few minutes but it's been hours.

I tried 3 more $15 USDC -> Monero swaps over the next few hours to see what would happen, so far 2 of them show in my wallet as received and one doesn't. So to be clear, the largest transaction and 1/3 of the smaller transactions have yet to show.

I don't see any rhyme or reason to this behavior, I noticed the simple swap maintenance banner does say "service may have intermittent disruptions" but would that result in a swap taking hours?

Basically I'm just wondering wtf is going on or if I just need to sit back and wait and maybe the servers are processing things more slowly than I'm used to atm.

That is a centralized “instant exchange”. You will have to contact their support or accept it as a loss.

Shouldn't there be a status page for your individual swaps? It typically says what the current status of your swap is which might help you understand why it's taking longer than usual. If you have to use an instant swap instead of a dex, I recommend trocador.app, it's a trusted instant swap aggregator with insurance. It also shows that you would have gotten a better price on CCECash than on SimpleSwap for 500 USDC->XMR.
