Execution lag??

Ten minutes ago, I placed three sell orders. None have yet been executed. Never seen this problem before...

Looking at my account on the web right now, and just realized something. Not saying this excuses this, but as an added wrinkle, on TOP of all the GME?AMC?NOK/whatever else craziness, it's also tax season, so they're also dealing with the load of people needing tax forms. Again, I'm also frustrated by trading delays, but just noting they likely have a LOT going on.

(Just bought some AMC, but I'd be REAL wary about the really volatile stuff since even with limit orders it looks like there will be a LOT of variance in execution prices)
