If your e-file was accepted then the IRS considers your payment to be on time even if they have not yet made the withdrawal, so you are okay. It might just be taking them longer to make the withdrawal since they are backlogged. Continue to watch your bank account for the transaction.
Was your efile Accepted? If so, the IRS is probably just behind in pulling payments, but check to make sure the routing and account numbers you entered are correct.
As an aside, I know of at least one Credit Union that won't allow debits of this type from a savings account (but will for a checking one).
If you successfully efiled ... it can be one of 3 reasons :
1) the debit info you sent is incorrect ... expect an IRS letter
If you selected Direct Debit from your bank account to pay the Federal taxes owed, that information was sent with your e-filed federal tax return.
Look at the Federal Information Worksheet in Part V. The bank name, routing number, account number and the date you selected to pay the taxes owed will be entered. If you did not select Direct Debit from your bank account then nothing will be in Part V. Look on your Federal Filing Instruction page for how you selected to pay the Federal taxes owed.

For the State taxes owed the same type of information will be on the State Information Worksheet in Part V of the worksheet and on the State Filing Instructions page.
However most states, if not all, do not allow state taxes owed to be paid by Direct Debit when using tax preparation software. They require the payment by Direct Debit only when using the State tax authorities website.
2) the IRS just has not gotten around to it yet or your bank/CC has not posted it yet.
(If you’re filing your taxes on July 15 and are having direct debit issues, go here.)
During non-peak times, funds are usually withdrawn on the payment date you specify, assuming your e-filed return has already been accepted (received) by the IRS.
If that date happens to fall on a weekend or federal holiday, the funds are typically withdrawn the next business day.
Now, if you filed right before (or on) the busy deadline, the IRS may not be able to debit your payment until after the deadline, due to high e-filing volume. In addition, it can take your bank another few days to post the debit to your account.
No worries; as long as you filed your return or extension on or before April 18 and you selected April 18, 2022 (or earlier) as your payment date, you won't get penalized for late payment.
In the meantime, keep an eye on your bank account — if you still don't see the debit 7–10 days after your return has been accepted, call IRS e-file Payment Services at 1-888-353-4537 or contact your state tax agency, as appropriate.
