I finally got a refund date. I filed in March 2020, yes f... 14 months ago. Calling IRS a thousand times didn't do anything for me as they are the problem not the solution. My status disappeared around January. I called the internal advocate and a month went by and nothing. I called my district representative office and that's when things got expedited. They contacted the IRS advocate and 1 week later my status was back. My return was approved 1 week after that. They pay 3% interest which a joke considering I am paying at least 20% on my credit cards. I considered going to court of federal claims if all this doesn't work. It is your right to be treated fair by the IRS and get proper response in 6 months. You only have two years to try this though. Only if I knew this last year... I hope you are not like me sitting home thinking the government would take care of you. Take the necessary steps.
