I've read a few different posts saying something along the lines of what you were told.
I have a cycle code ending in 605. I filed on 1/23/20 and was accepted on 1/27/20. I have 3 dependents and have the EITC.
I checked my transcripts a little after 11 PST today (2/21/20) and lo and behold I had a 846 code with a date of 2/26/20. My WMR still only shows the generic "we have received your refund and it is being processed" message. I have been checking my transcripts and WMR multiple times throughout the day/night. My transcript updated sometimes between 1am and 11am today.
