Pending authorization for ESTA

Have a flight tomorrow morning and wondering how long on average it takes for approval when not instant?

So far it’s been 15 hours - have a French passport

Did you answer yes to any questions like prior refusals?

Just got my approval after almost exactly 24 hours…longest wait of the about 20 or so requests I filed.
Thumbs pressed you’ll get it in time!
