(URGENT) Unemployed while STEM OPT extension is pending

A brief overview of my current situation:

On July 5, 2021, my request for a STEM OPT extension was received by USCIS.

The dates I applied for were 7/8/21 and 12/31/23 based on my employment with my firm at the time.

The case is still processing but I received the automatic 180 days of extension.

During this 180 extension while the case is processing I have been laid off.

Will this affect the original extension request and additionally would this affect the amount of unemployment I can accrue. Do I gain those extra 60 days of unemployment to look for a job while the application is in process or have I lost everything?

Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
