Notarization stuck in “In Progress” for all submissions since April 4th

Hi,

I’ve been successfully using notarization with notarytool for over a month (20+ submissions, all accepted within minutes).

On April 4th around 07:30 (UTC), my last submissions were accepted without any issue:

    status: Accepted
    --------------------------------------------

Later that same day (around 16:30 UTC), after minor bug fixes and UI changes, I submitted a new build.

Since then, all notarization requests remain stuck in “In Progress” for more than 48 hours:

No errors are returned, and notarytool log is not yet available.

Is this expected behavior (e.g. extended review), or could there be an issue affecting notarization for my team?

Thanks for your help.
