Answer

Your Sender will be "pending" for up to 24 hours. If your Sender is still pending after 24 hours, reach out to Support.

When you onboard a number as a WhatsApp Sender, the Sender needs to go through an approval process with Meta. During this approval process, you will see the status of your Sender as "pending" or "PENDING_VERIFICATION".
