Upgraded status but still In Queue - Upgrade not working?

in Report a Bug
Hi,
Did a search beforehand and closest I found was a post in September 2021 from PelPlays so might be user specific.
'Upgrade Next' moved to 'Upgraded' but still showing as 'In Queue' stage rather than the ever hopeful and exciting 'In Voting' phase. 4 hours, 16 minutes and counting now.
Logged in and out multiple times but still showing the same. Turned the computer off and on again as well for extra effect.
Can you investigate please? Or confirm I have finally broken the Internet.😱
Cheers me dears.
ps. 4 hours and 17 minutes now. 😉

when did you submit the wayspot? all wayspots must first go through a waiting period before they can enter voting. it's called the grace period. it can take anywhere from a couple days to a week for a submitted wayspot to leave the grace period.
Thanks for your reply.
Wow, I did not know that - you learn something new every day. I submitted it 3 days ago (4-3) - it was a replacement nom to one from a couple of years ago that has been stuck in voting and now because of other factors - mainly time related - is no longer relevant. I can't withdraw that legacy nom so hoped this new one would supersede it in the voting pool.
Thanks for the heads up on the grace period thing - definitely not a bug then but something working as expected...?
I withdraw my bug report.
Knowing my luck the legacy nom will be accepted first and negatively impact the replacement one!
Also found a post about the grace period (https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/24131/grace-period-before-a-nomination-goes-into-voting) - now that I know what to look for, and it does mention what to expect when upgrading newly submitted nominations as in my case.
It's gone into In Voting now.
Thanks all.
Thought I'd submit a screenshot to help anyone in the future who didn't know about grace periods like myself.

glad it was resolved. there is a graphic floating around somewhere detailing the process with grace periods, in queue, in voting, et cetera, but if i understand correctly, you use a screenreader so i am not sure if it would be much use to you.
as is mentioned in the thread you linked, if you nominate something but choose to "upload later," your nomination can naturally bypass the grace period. even though the nomination hasn't been submitted yet, and therefore cannot go into voting or be viewed on your contributions page, it can still remove the waiting days corresponding to how long it's held in "upload later" limbo.
