My Progress" Section Removed from I-130 Case - Anyone Else?

Hello everyone, I submitted an I-130 petition for my spouse on August 1, 2024, and initially, there was a "My Progress" section showing an estimated timeline for my case. Recently, this option disappeared, and now my case status only displays "Case Was Received And A Receipt Notice Was Sent. Has anyone else seen this happen? Did you experience significant delays after this message? Any tips on what to expect or steps I could take would be very helpful. Thank you for any advice!
