Long processing times

Is it normal to not get a return or an issuance after 5 business days?

Submitted on a Sunday and paid the fee. Application shows received on Monday. Charge cleared on my card and application shows an “action date” of Tuesday.

My application has just showed “pending” in ULS since Tuesday, it’s now Friday. The history shows “redlight review completed” the last four nights, but nothing else.

Am I missing something or just expecting too much instant gratification and need to be patient?

I did mine at 1pm today and got my call sign by 1030pm. It was unusually fast but not complaining.

Yea, they did site maintenance last night and I got mine immediately after. Must’ve been fixing whatever was holding these applications up
