My Microsoft account is locked with Compliance Lock since for 11 days now, with no end in sight.
I get the following message when I try and log in:

I have completed the Account Reinstatement form ((https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/concern/AccountReinstatement)) and got this reply:
This is an automated message to let you know we have received your inquiry regarding your Microsoft account. Your request number is xxxxxxxxx and we will get back to you as soon as we are able. Please do not submit additional requests as this will add additional volume and only slow our response.
We sincerely apologize for this delay as we know this means you may not have access to your account. We are working to resolve your case and will update you as soon as we have additional information.
All duplicate requests will be closed and responses will be sent on the original escalation.
Sincerely

I still haven't heard back. I can't access my email/contacts/calendar/OneDrive and it's very frustrating. I have important emails I cannot access. There is supposed to be contact within 24 hours – it is now 11 days!

how long on average does it take for them to get back to you?
have sent of some forms before the one above and heard nothing.
be good to know if i just need to be patient or if need to just give up
i filled out the form and they responded in about a day saying that i have a case worker and that theyve sent an email notifying whoever, but well see if anything comes from it and ill inform you guys
so ive been in contact with account escalation, theyve emailed these account gods twice now waiting 48 hrs inbetween. they havent recieved a response back yet but they say its probaly because theres alot of these requests right now but they have been emailing me and keeping me updated so atleast i know at the current moment theres somebody trying too figure this stuff out.
