I couldn’t login using the details they sent to schedule the ceremony, so I had to request a password change. That didn’t work either, so I had to email the council. They called me back and we scheduled the ceremony during the call. I received the email right after.

Updating with the ceremony date. Immediately after receiving confirmation from Atlas, I submitted a form on the council website to register for a public ceremony and they said they'd get back to me once they got my citizenship certificate from Home Office.

Note:
I made a silly typo in one of the absent from UK dates, as a result, it showed 4000 days of absence on my application form. I realised this after the biometric was done. Later on, I sent an email to FurtherNationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk to clarify the mistake. I'm not sure this made any difference at all.
My application was approved exactly in 6 weeks from biometric![]()
Good luck everyone.
