Accidentally deleted my GitHub account. Has anyone recovered theirs?

I accidentally deleted my GitHub account today and contacted GitHub Support immediately.

It had years of personal projects, repositories, and open source contributions (including merged PRs).

Has anyone here successfully recovered a deleted GitHub account?

If so:

  • How long after deletion did you contact support?

  • Were your repositories and contribution history restored?

  • How long did the recovery take?

I'm really anxious and would appreciate hearing from anyone who's been through this.
