Decided to check randomly if it was still locked on my lunch - and finally it's unlocked!!!
Timeline:
3/6 Activated - 30 days
4/5 deactivated
5/8 reactivated @ Bronze plan - 30 days
5/23 - Submitted unlock request
5/28 - finally unlocked
Ridiculous process but I don't think it will get any better as Verizon is trying to remove the 60 day rule altogether with the new FCC (which will most likely approve it).

May 10, 2025 - Day 67 - Still no unlock.
May 23, 2025 - Day 80 - Filled out the form on http://tfwunlockpolicy
May 28, 2025 - Day 85 - Unlocked. Evening. No SIM Restrictions.
After seeing a couple of people here getting their phones unlocked via the unlocking website over the Memorial Day weekend, I went that route to see if it was eligible to be unlocked. Long and behold, it says it was and had submitted a ticket to get it unlocked on the 24th which was a Saturday.
By late Wednesday the 28th, I had restarted the phone and showed "NO SIM RESTRICTION" even though the unlocking dept I called earlier in the month had stated the phone would be unlocked by June 4th.
Glad to be over and done with this, but wanted to at least share an update.
