Hi,
This is indeed an abnormal issue. In my experience, this issue occurs when you are logged into a different project or when you are using a different account. In order to isolate this issue, I suggest that you use an Incognito window (Google Chrome) or any other private window to log in to your project with your account. Doing this will make sure that there are no traces of other accounts that can interfere with GCP.
As you mentioned that you wanted to see the status of your request, it can take anywhere from 3 days to several weeks depending on the scope that you selected. More details can be found here.
