2021 Tax Return Still "Processing" in 2023

Hello - I'm writing on this message board in hopes to receive some helpful advice regarding my 2021 Tax Refund. After over a year, I figured I would receive my Federal 2021 Tax Refund, however, that is not the case. I've checked the Wheres My Refund page on the IRS website frequently over the last year and since I've been checking, the status of my 2021 Tax Refund has not changed - it has remained as "We have received your tax return and it is being processed". From my understanding, it does not take over a year for the IRS to provide a tax refund after receiving said tax refund nor does it take over a year to provide feedback if there were any issues. I've attempted to call, but no luck, and constantly met with artificial operators. How can I go about receiving my 2021 Tax Refund here or even a better understanding of the delay? Any color is appreciated.
