Not really Skiprr, at least not since I've been a member of this forum. Over this past summer many people waited 1 or 2 weeks after the update to "approved, license issued or active" until they actually received the license.
In fact there was a lengthy thread about one of our members who showed approved in the database, was stopped by a LEO before he received the plastic, and went through a month or 2 of absolute grief because the LEO made all attempts to get his license revoked because he didn't display the license to the officer, when in fact, he had not even received it at the time of the stop.
Beginning in late August, DPS changed their processing procedures and have issued the licenses on a very timely basis after updating the website to approval status. I received mine 2 days after the status change.
Just my $.02 worth.
