Anyone experiencing major delays in amended return processing?

I had to amend my 2019 state and federal returns because I didn't account for the adjusted cost basis on some stock I acquired thru my employer's purchase plan. I mailed both in around Feb 15th. My state sent me a check in like 10 days! However, for federal it's still not showing in the system under "Where's my amended return." I found a post from someone else on how to get a live person at the IRS -- which I used -- but at the end I got a message indicating that they couldn't answer my question right now or something and hung up. I suspect all these delays are just due to all the stimulus stuff, but this is still becoming grating on my nerves since I didn't qualify for any stimulus, and this amended return is good sized for me.
