Wait time after RFE response in non-premium processing

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask those waiting for a decision after submitting their RFE response in non-premium processing: How long has it taken you recently to get a decision after submitting your response, or how long have you been waiting so far? My case was reopened 68 days ago after an incorrect denial, and I’ve been waiting since then for TSC to review my RFE response, which was submitted on September 4th. I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences—thank you!
