F1 Administrative Processing for almost 90 days

After being put in Adm Processing for the 2nd time, and it approaching 90 days, I'm hoping for your advice here.

I was in the US as a J-1 in 2019 and then, after flying home temporarily, I was put in Adm. Processing (J-1 renewal) for ~60 days until the consulate contacted me to say that my visa got approved and that I should send in my passport. The very next day, I received another e-mail saying I should keep my passport as all the consulates were closing due to covid. Result: I completed my program remotely.

In the meantime, I got accepted for a PhD in the US, deferred the start until Fall 2021 ("gap year") due to covid and, because of that, applied for a F-1 visa 3 months ago in July. Again, I was put in Adm. Processing (yes, even though the first one was cleared eventually), everything was exactly the same (pink slip; 221(g); DS-5535). I had to defer by another semester and now I'm super scared I won't even make it for Spring 2022 as we're approaching 90 days of processing. CEAC shows that my case was updated in July, right after I had the interview.

Is there anything I can do? How is it possible I have to go through this twice?

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. 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...
