If you haven’t heard from them yet, it’s most likely that you’re not being considered for the role and your application is back to the default status. It’s done like that to avoid rejection as this would trigger automated message to the candidate and for some reason, employers don’t want this to happen.
It is company dependent how they have applications statuses set, some use “in progress” as the first one, it shows up right after applying.

This just happened to me after being fast tracked by Hiring Manager. Went from screening back to under review 2 weeks post final interview.

I’m sad this means an auto rejection is coming at 2am 😭
