Does expedited review status carry over to a build resubmitted after a rejection? As I understood the expedited terms it does, but my resubmission has now been in Waiting for Review for three days.

Submission ID: ab5ae098-30c3-4185-a723-5f7901980dfa
Timeline:
- Mid-July: submitted v3.0, a major update (first iPad build, Apple Pencil, a day-page customization layer). Sat in Waiting for Review over a week.
- Jul 20: requested expedited review, citing a live marketing campaign. Granted.
- Jul 21, 1:47 PM: rejected on one issue, Guideline 5.1.1. A pre-permission priming screen used the button label "Grant"; the reviewer asked for neutral wording like "Continue." Build 3.0 (35).
- Jul 21, 2:54 PM: uploaded build 3.0 (36) with the wording fixed, about an hour later.
- Today, Jul 24: still Waiting for Review. Roughly three days on the new build, two weeks since the original submission.
Two things I got wrong(?), up front:
- The rejection included the Bug Fix Submissions offer (reply to the thread, keep the current submission). I declined it and uploaded a new binary instead.
- Believing I was still in the expedited queue, I filed a second expedited request two days after resubmitting. It shows as granted, but nothing moved. I know repeat requests are discouraged.
I've also emailed App Review with no reply for over a week, and I haven't cancelled the submission - I don't want to reset the clock over a one-word fix that's already in the binary.
My questions: did uploading a new binary rather than replying to the rejection thread drop me out of the expedited queue?
Anything actionable on my end, or is the only thing I can do is wait?
