When does IRS update "Amended Return Status" website?

I've sent in my Amended Return on 1040x about 8 weeks ago (and they received my certified mail), but there is still nothing when I search on https://sa.www4.irs.gov/wmar/.
The Dashboard (https://www.irs.gov/help/processing-status-for-tax-forms) Says they're still processing 1040 based forms from the month before, so perhaps they just haven't gotten to it yet?
Seems like there would be some update on the Amended Return Status page tho?

Eight weeks is not very long at all, for an amended return.  I believe the IRS says eight to twelve weeks is normal; however, you shouldn't be surprised if it takes 16 weeks, or more.  As you mentioned, it's the middle of tax filing season, so that's their priority.  That said, they could process it next week.
