Nothing occult. "Two weeks" is the just the standard unit of bureaucrat time: short enough to sound like it will happen quickly, but long enough that the person asking will probably have forgotten about it by when the time is up. This is just how bureaucrats perceive time.

Hire some product people.

It is baffling that if you pay for X Pro on a new account, it triggers "verification" and you have to wait for someone manually review your non-existent profile...

Why punish customers for paying? Do you hate money?
