Federal Return accepted 3 days ago, still no refund advance

I was approved for a refund advance when I filed at the beginning of last week.  My federal was accepted on last Thursday around 12pm (please note this part because all the answers i have seemingly been able to find are overlooking that important key factor in this), it is now Saturday almost 11pm and I still have not received the refund advance.  I was told 24-48 hours after the IRS accepts your return at the most.  Well we are beyond that at this point and still nothing.....PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON!

Federal Return accepted 3 days ago, still no refund advance

If you are approved, your Refund Advance funds are typically available within 4 minutes of the IRS accepting your e-filed tax return. The IRS generally starts accepting returns in late January.  IRS starts accepting returns officially on January 29, 2024.  If your return was accepted early, it might be that your return was chosen as part of the e-filing test group.  You should receive your advance by February 1st.
