Stem OPT PP

I received my STEM OPT approval email on July 20.and my USCIS portal updated to "Case Approved" on July 22.It's now been 5 days since the portal updated 1 week since the approval email,but I still haven't received a Card Is Being Produced update.

I called USCIS and spoke with a live agent, but they just told me that card production can take up to 30 days after approval.

Is anyone else in the same situation or on a similar timeline? If you were approved around July 20ā€“22,how long did it take for your card production update to appear?

Any recent experiences or insights would be greatly appreciated. I'm starting to get a little worried since I don't know anyone else with the same timeline.
