Every time is different I was on hold for 30mins and the another day was 3 hours. I usually put my phone on speaker mode and do chores.

I've been dealing with EDD hold times for months now. From my experience, it really varies - sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes 4+ hours. The key is to call right when they open at 8am. I've also found that calling on Tuesday or Wednesday gives you better chances than Monday or Friday. Hang in there, it's frustrating but eventually you'll get through!
