Noncompete enforcement notification deadline passed?

I left my company and recently notified them that I had a job offer from a competitive company. In the noncompete agreement, there’s a clause that states the company will notify me of enforcement within x business days. They kept telling me that they would have updates for me, but that deadline has passed. Do they have any legal grounds for enforcement now or can I safely assume the noncompete will not be enforced? I will be starting the job soon so need to know the final decision ASAP.
