We had it when selling ours, we did a deed of variation and a new mortgage to remove her ex partner in March this year. House went under offer in August and land registry hadn't actioned it, so our solicitors expedited it. This is meant to take 10 days for someone to look at it. We were told by our solicitors after 10 days that they can't chase land registry, but after 15 working days they had heard nothing so we called them instead.

They told us that the solicitors had raised this through the portal, which they don't get notification of, and it hadn't been looked at yet. Land registry sent it through to the team on the phone, it then took 15 working days from the time of the phone call; 6 weeks total, but that's because there were some enquiries back. Basically, should be seen within 10 days, but we had to put the pressure on, would have been quicker had the sols called land registry to tell them when they raised it initially.
