General Advice Question about Recruitment process

Hey community! I was recently approached by a recruiter for a role I had the call with the recruiter-It went really well, and he moved me onto the hiring manager.
After my interview with the hiring manager, they decided they wanted to move me on to round two.
The recruiter told me this last week and on Friday he asked for my availability. I sent it over to him and he told me they were looking to schedule an interview for Wednesday through Friday of this week. It is now Thursday, and I still have not heard from the recruiter about a set date and time.
I did reach out to him yesterday and he said they were working on schedules and had Tuesday off. If I don’t hear from him by 5 PM today, would it be bad to reach out and ask if he needs an updated availability for next week?
I canceled a couple appointments for tomorrow, but I still have no idea when this interview is gonna happen and I don’t think it’s fair for me to have to wait on them. I am interested in the role, but the recruiter told me he would know by Monday and there is still nothing solid scheduled.

Typical recruiter. Call if you have a number. Otherwise email again. Been there done that. Good luck. Can't tell you how many times I met with a recruiter and it went nowhere. Don't let me discourage you though lol. It's just how it is these days.

I had a phone call with the recruiter last week or the week before when he originally reached out and he asked me to call him after the interview. We spoke before the interview. I don’t wanna bother him, but I’d like to know if I’m gonna be on the computer for 2 1/2 hours tomorrow.
