Paid-off phone still not eSIM compatible

Hi, I requested my phone to be unlocked earlier today. I was told it would take 30 minutes to 24 hours, but it’s been about 6 hours and the device still shows SIM locked.

Can someone please confirm that the unlock request was sent to Apple’s server and re-push it if needed? The phone is fully paid off and past the 60-day period.

Thanks.
