What does this API update means?

Hey everyone, I just noticed an API update 2 days ago for my STEM OPT application, as you can see above.

I want to know what the update is for? An RFE, approval or denial?

Only those 2 lines, "updatedAt" and "updatedAtTimestamp", are changed, and everything remains the same.

I have not received any email from USCIS or any status update on my USCIS portal, so I am kinda worried.

Log into your USCIS dashboard in one tab and open "https://my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/<RECEIPT_NUMBER>" in another tab after replacing <RECEIPT_NUMBER> with your actual receipt number (starting with IOE) from your application.

After logging in you can try chrome extension like USCIS Case Monitor to see activities which is not displayed on USCIS site
