I waited 12 days for approval... Called and emailed every day.. It seems some embassies hold them until last days before approval..

 I just sent a follow up email last night and I got this morning. It looks like they send you only when your travel date is so close. Otherwise, they are holding on it it. I am sure you will get.

 Probably closed. See their page here. But I was told that they still process CoE online from their home and not to worry about it.

You might also try contacting them through other social media apps - FB messenger, Twitter, IG, etc if you haven't already done so. Worth a shot...

 If you have received an email confirmation of the receipt of your documents for CoE, then their contact address should be there at the end of their email. I just pasted here what I got in my email

Yes, it's been like that for me for the last 3 days. They are not answering nor record phone calls. And no answer to email. 2 weeks to my flight and I'm on pins and needles. I share your feelings.

I would call and speak with someone. They pulled up my application over the phone and accepted it. I would say to just keep calling until you get a hold of someone who is helpful. Usually they are.
