Unusually long wait time pending macOS app notarization

Have had a Mac app request for notarization today with Status: in progress for nearly 7 hours now. Still waiting.

This is using the same process we have been using successfully for several years and last time was just last week.

Looking for info if there is a known delay or other reason for this?

FYI the usual wait time is around 10 minutes.

Sometimes notarisation requests get lost for a while. If you retry, do you still see the problem? If so, try notarising a tiny test project. Does that have the same issue?

Have retried a couple more times today, still an unusually long delay / wait time

The two DMGs from yesterday DID finally get notarized but I still have a problem, we will need to notarize these things in less than 24 hours!

Just an update to let you know we're still waiting three and a half hours later…

Notarization occurred after 13+ hours!
