Processing times ?

Okay so, I filed kinda late bc my old jobs hadn’t sent my W-2s and I moved from my old apartment and it was accepted the same day (Apr. 14). It’s been 17 days since then and my return is still being processed. I believe I qualified for the EIC and whenever I look up FAQs it says that they delay the processing until after February. Is that only at the beginning of the tax season or do they delay the processing regardless? Thanks for any responses and be safe during this rough time ❤️
