The only way I got movement on my application was to pay the $60 expedite fee. I suspect being a December application, paying it in March got it bumped up in the queue. I was moved from adjudication to exception and then to fulfillment in 2 business days after paying the fee.
I only learned about the F12 trick (well, something similar since I'm not using Chrome) a couple of days back. It's in fulfillment status, but I think it's actually been there for weeks since I lost the ability to upgrade shipping quite a while back.
But I wonder if there could have been some trick where paying the expedite fee after your application will bump you ahead? Not that useful since the details will probably be different when or if they re-open online renewals.
