Nhs app to order repeat medications, how long do you wait for your GP to approve medications?

Iv been on repeat medications for 2 years and Iv found recently I’m waiting 72 hours for GP to approve my medications, Iv tried ordering them earlier so I know I’ll have them in time for when they are due but that often means they will be rejected! So I have to order them just as they are due and then I’m waiting 4-5 days until they are ready to be collected at the pharmacy. I’m in north east, is anyone else having similar issues? How long does it usually take for medications to be approved? I do remember before covid lockdowns medications would be approved the same day and often ready to collect the same day. I’m unsure weather I should perhaps change doctors as this has been going on a few months now
