IRS has not debited my account for payment made with extension

I filed an extension online with Turbotax on 5/14/21 and entered my info for the IRS to debit my account.  It has now been 2 weeks and they still have not debited my account.  I received an email saying the extension was approved and have a copy of it but can't find anything that is proof I submitted the info for payment.  I efiled my return today with the balance due but I'm concerned about the first payment not going through since it's the bulk of what I owed.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Is there anything else I should do at this point other than wait a bit longer?

Don’t worry. The IRS is way behind in debiting accounts.

It's now been 42 days and the payment has still not been debited from my account and I have now received an IRS notice with penalties showing that they have not received the payment.  I have no proof of payment from either the IRS or Turbotax since Turbotax only sent confirmation that the extension I filed with them online was accepted.  They make no mention of the payment and I did not get any confirmation number.  I entered all the banking info and scheduled the payment for three days later when I filed the extension online.  Now no one - the IRS, Turbotax or myself - has a record of anything.  Am I just screwed here?  So frustrating.  Thanks for the headache and lack of support Turbotax.
