FWIW, I did get the auto-reply that she got it when I sent it:
Thanks for querying me!
I am still reading and responding to queries during this unusual time. We all need good books right now. However, things may take a bit longer for a while.
This is an auto-reply to let you know I’ve received your email and I’ll review your query as soon as I’m able.
I would very much like to be able to respond to every query, but unfortunately time doesn’t allow for it. If you haven’t heard back from me within eight weeks, I'm sorry to say I've decided I'm not the ideal match for your project. Thank you again for the opportunity to consider your work.
Unless I’ve requested material from you, I won’t look at attachments or click on links, so if you’ve done that, please re-send with all relevant information in the body of your email: your query letter and the first 20 pages of your project.

Sent a kind nudge on June 21 and received an auto-response the same day, pretty much the same one that can be found below. After waiting eight weeks and passing July 14, I considered this a closed/no response query.

Agent closed to queries right after I submitted my query and responded to let me know I would still be considered during her closed time, but it might take longer. She has since reopened and closed again, so I think I will count this as "no response" after 3 months.
EQ 02/01/2021, got the auto reply
CNR 03/29/2021, agency says that 8 weeks without response is a no.

(she states she's not looking for Romance, but liked my pitch, so why not)
CNR 3/16/21
Looks like she hasn't responded in quite some time so going to close out.

@whitegardenia nope despite confirming and saying she was excited to read
