Is it a problem that I already got my refund but Where's My Refund still says received?

My refund was deposited to my bank account yesterday, but when I checked the Where's My Refund tool, it still says received. It never updated to Refund Approved or Refund Sent.

I want to use the money because I need it, but I'm nervous that an error has been made because the tool didn't update before I got the payment.

Not an issue. The last several years others and myself on here have received our refunds before Where's My Refund? ever updated

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS. If they sent your refund and the Where's My Refund tool was not updated for you, only the IRS would know why.
