Tax examiner lifted freeze - 2 week release timeline realistic?

Just got off the phone with a tax examiner who said they lifted the freeze on my refund. They told me to expect the release in two weeks. Anyone else have experience with this timeline? Is this actually accurate or just another empty promise?

Tax professional here - yes, this timeline is generally accurate. Once a freeze is lifted, the system typically processes the release within 10-14 business days. Sometimes even faster if there are no other pending issues.

Depends on what type of freeze it was tbh. Income verification freeze? Identity? Return needs review?
