Further to your question I am a solicitor and will be assisting you with your question today.
At present the decision time takes about 8 weeks however if you pay for the priority service it is within 24 hours. There are currently no delays
Please see the guidance below

If it has been 8 weeks then you can chase the Home Office for a decision
Kindly note that is the only way to chase the Home Office. You can e-mail them on that contact
Hi
That is correct, you can continue to work.
It could be due to the Ukraine crisis however the Home Office does not advertise that
Please find enclosed the details on how you can contact the Home Office.
https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk
That link normally allows you to raise a query to the Home Office . I suggest that you try first thing in the morning to get through to them
Its busy as many people are trying to get through to them at the same time.
I understand, in that case I suggest that you continue to wait
Kindly note that everyone is allowed to work whilist they have an extension application in place
