who did you email?
I just got a response now (after my last post) from the email address I emailed (PPTOPR@state.gov) as follows:
Greetings,
Your passport was approved today, and sent to printing. It will most likely be printed in the next 1-2 days, and shipped. We believe you will receive your passport on time, before your travel. Please feel free to reach us if you have not received your passport a week from now.
Regards,
Online Passport Renewal Team
Keep in mind this is a dedicated email for OPR (Online Passport Renewal), unless you renewed online it wouldn’t be relevant to you. Hopefully this means I’ll have my passport soon Bez”H.
ETA: my online status now shows “printed”.
