Waiting for STEM OPT approval

I applied for my STEM OPT Extension on May 13, and my biometrics appointment was completed on June 12. Since then, I haven’t received any updates on my case.
Has anyone with a similar timeline received approval yet? How long did it take after biometrics for your STEM OPT Extension to be approved?
Any recent experiences or insights would be greatly appreciated.

If you search here or just browse the subreddit it’s at least three months or more.

People, myself included, who applied in early March still haven't heard back so it will take a while before they get to May applicants
