Anyone else had their PTE result stuck under review? How long did it take?

Gave my PTE Academic on 11th August. Got flagged for review — took an unscheduled toilet break during the test. It’s been more than 5 working days now and still no result. Pearson said to expect it by Friday but no update yet.

This is really stressing me out since I have a visa deadline (485) and a job start date tied to this result.

Has anyone been through the same “under review” situation? How long did it actually take for you to get your result, and did it turn out fine in the end?
