It can take a long time for Niantic to come to a decision on an edit for a sponsored Wayspot. I submitted a location edit for a sponsored Wayspot in December 2024, and I have yet to hear back. The emails for sponsored edits also look different than edit for non-sponsored Wayspots.
Sponsored edit email:
Note how no further updates will be provided from Niantic on the edit.
Non-sponsored edit email:
Others have noted that they are done edits for sponsored Wayspots, and nothing has been done for years after reporting. Niantic noted that there are several different channels they have to go through, that they are unable to discuss with us, in order to complete these sponsored Wayspot edits.
