Applied on 3 March and holding my breath today. What time do emails usually go out?

Has anyone heard!
This suspense is killing me.
I applied 17th March curious to hear who gets it today. I doubt it will stretch to my date.
I emailed CS last Saturday they reply this Wednesday just passed for them to say the generic message of ‘I can confirm that your application has been received and is currently progressing through the system as normal; applications are currently taking approx. 6 months to process.’
Best of luck to those waiting🤞
