From what I have read, eversource is not allowed to put a hold on it, they are required to process it typically within two business days.

The language in the contract does say it is subject to eversource processing it for it to go in to effect for me, with an effective date of 11/27/22.

What is the point if eversource can just refuse to process requests?

I would recommend downloading and saving a copy of the contract as a PDF instead of relying on just the confirmation emails.

Sounds like some bullshit that would easily be litigated.
