She said on X that she has responded to queries submitted in July. However, according to the timeline, there's still quite a few from then, including mine, so I'm going to assume it's a CNR.

"Thank you so much for your patience as I reviewed your submission. I appreciate the opportunity to consider your work.
While I read your query with interest, I'm afraid this project isn't the right fit for my list. I know this isn't the response you'll have been hoping for, and I'm sorry I don't have better news to share after the wait.
Please know that our agency handles submissions collectively, so a pass from one of us is a pass from the team. However, I encourage you to continue querying widely, as another agent elsewhere may feel differently.
Wishing you the very best on your publishing journey.
Warmly,
Rhian"
Other people are saying her form rejection is nice so maybe there are different ones she sends. This was polite and I appreciated the timely turnaround.
