My app has been in "Waiting for Review" for 20 days with no updates.

I've been in "Waiting for Review" since Jan 27 with no movement. We missed our launch date as well. Originally, we submitted on Jan 23, mistakenly assumed there was an issue because our app didn't move, and resubmitted on Jan 27. In hindsight, it likely lost 4 additional days. After submitting 3 requests to Apple Support, just to confirm our app was queued, they got back to us saying it was and that no additional action was required on our side. We're burning a ton of cash daily on back-end services that are running so Apple's reviewers can test all features, and our devs are sidelined until we get word on Apple's decision (first-time app submission). We anticipated the real challenges would begin once our app launched, and never thought they would start with Apple's review process. For what it's worth, it's the lack of communication and clarity from Apple that's been frustrating. Honestly, if they simply said "we're backlogged and actively working to clear the queue, with an ETA of 20 days..." we'd at least know where to direct our efforts while we wait.

18 days in "Waiting for Review" as of today.

This seems to be a widespread issue. My app has been in "Waiting for Review" since Jan 27 (technically, I submitted the app on Jan 23, but I thought "resubmitting" it after no movement for 4 days would nudge it, but in hindsight, that likely made it worse), and I've submitted two requests to Apple support with no response.

This situation tracks. My app submission has been in "Waiting for Review" since January 27. I contacted App Review Support after 5 days, but never heard back. Additionally, I went a step further and scheduled an App Review appointment with the team, but they declined the request with no explanation.
