FT process on hold due to SA recruiting?

Had R1 first week of Jan and R2 a week after, HR has been pushing off next steps, recently communicated that will hear back from team third week of February. 1) is this typical for ft recruiting during SA recruiting? 2) even though they haven’t directly said I have moved onto the SD, the fact that they keep updating me at the end of each week with “apologies for the delay, please let us know if you have any hard deadlines coming up” is a positive sign right or am I delusional?
