I thought about it and it'll be helpful a thread going of folks who made a request, and when they got their data. To help give other folks an idea of when they might here back, if they put a request in now.

I put my request in the day before the blackout. Still waiting to hear back from Reddit.

Edit: Just FYI I ended up deleting my account before hearing back on this. If I ever do hear back I will update on here, but at this point I'm seriously doubting that will happen.

Edit2: 2023-07-10 - they got back to me. Since I no longer have a reddit account this was emailed to the email address I registered the account with.

Not sure if I'll ever hear back now that my account is deleted.

Why did you delete the account before receiving the data?

I realized I didn't need actually it anymore, I found another way to find all my content using the pushshift torrents, see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/47320/PSA-If-you-have-more-than-1000-posts-more-than - and once I had a copy of that I had a copy of the permalinks/ids i needed to delete/overwrite everything.

Note though that this may not be true of everyone - for example if you want your saved posts beyond 1000 (and these saved posts aren't your own or ones you commented on) then the above trick won't help since pushshift didn't have the saved post information.
