Got the same reply as below about her transitioning to a new agency and to query her when she reopens at the new one. It feels strange to do so. I've already waited over 60 days for a reply. At least I can query someone else at Azantian!

@trinityaliciaa I got the same but it didn’t say that she had passed on it.

Q: Upper MG Contemporary 9/8/26
I accidentally submitted after the deadline since I had it up all night and did not see she closed this morning until after I refreshed the page. I feel bad now and think this will affect my chances. Not sure if I should resubmit when she opens or trust she will see at some point.
10/12: Okay so I got the email update about her transition but I’m not sure if it’s a rejection since it’s not as explicitly written as the rejections others have received? I’m not sure what counts as a form rejection either? I’ll just plan to re-send to her if I don’t have a full request by the time she’s accepting queries…curious if anyone else would have insight!

I queried her on Aug 20th, and today I have received a rejection e-mail in which she thanked me for the patience, and said that she is switching agencies at the moment (effective Oct 26th). The way she expressed it makes me think she wants people to send their queries again once she had settled down. Might be I'm misreading things.
