You get 2 emails, the first one comes almost immediately and acknowledges that the report is filed, and the second can take a few hours or days and states whether it's approved or rejected.
You gave us three pieces of information, rejected, soft power, and digital nomad. With zero details. If you want real advice lay out everything you provided in your submissions including which embassies, type of course, course length, which provider, and whatever experience and proof you provided for your digital nomad submission.
Out of the 50,000 DTVs approved, I'd guess maybe 10 people were pressingly questioned upon entry regarding ongoing course or financial statements. You could just as easily say your back to find a new soft power activity.
you owe nothing, it's not your responsibility that the pipes burst. Finish your lease and leave. Likely no matter what this landlord is gonna do whatever to milk the deposit.
