The payment periods used to be much shorter but they gradually kept making them longer. The previous period was 8 weeks and that was the longest I have waited until now. It was since the last payment that they said we should expect payments bimonthly. Reasonably we can define bimonthly as either 8 weeks, August 4 - October 4, or 60 days. All of those periods have passed so it is only right to receive some status update at this point.
