Happy things cleared. Still odd to me that when I called after lodgement and it didn’t clear despite checking earlier there was R class, was then told no R class. And now after 2 days it clears - seems ‘not quite right’.

Anecdotal evidence is that manually lodged RUs seem to take longer to clear even when there is R class….
