After doing taxes for ten years with turbo tax, I encountered something that I have never seen before. Two weeks after taxes being accepted I noticed that my status bar disappeared and the amount of refund was not being show .  Still processing returns.Also a column came up stating topic 152 . I’m not sure what this all means..

Tax Topic 152 simply means that your e-filed return is being processed and that the government hasn't approved or rejected it yet. Sometimes return status does not update for several days or even longer. The IRS issues more than 9 out of 10 refunds in the normal time frame: less than 21 days. However, it’s possible that some tax returns may require further review and could take longer. Please click Topic No. 152 Refund Information to learn more.  https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc152

The IRS states:

WHERE’S MY REFUND STATUS BARS DISAPPEARED

"We have gotten many comments and messages regarding the IRS Where’s My Refund Tool having your orange status bar disappearing. This has to do with the irs.gov where’s my refund site having too much traffic and lagging. This is causing images not to display and information about your federal tax return to not show up. This has happened every year since the tool was first available. This has nothing to do with you being flagged or your return being denied. Status Bars Disappeared for many Americans who filed early. This also can have to do with your browser settings as well as your cache. Please try using a different browser such as Chrome or Firefox. Also, clear your cache in your browser settings."

If IRS statement is true about server lagging from to much traffic , then why has my refund status  even when I call past we’ll past the 21 day refund approval  that they state. This has never occurred before..
