Kindle Deal Nomination on Amazon questions

I signed up for a Kindle Deal Nomination twelve days ago. If selected the deal would run at some point during 1-Jul-2023 - 31-Jul-2023. The terms say my list price must remain the same for 30 days before, during, and after for at least 7 days after the Kindle Deal. Then it says: If we decide to go ahead with the promotion, we'll send you a notification to confirm that your title(s) have been selected.

Anybody know--roughly--how long they take to contact you? Because I lose a lot of pricing flexibility in a situation like the Kindle Deal runs say July 31th. If that's the case, I can still do discounts or use free days (the book is in KDP Select) through all of June. Plus the sales of the book they've selected has been in a slight decline lately. I wonder if that is going to influence their choice. And also there was no mention whether it was a daily or monthly deal my book was being considered for.

Any info about any of the above will be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't think they say whether it's a daily or monthly unless they choose your book.

As for when they notify, from what I read it could be soon, or just a few days before your run would start, which means you want to be careful if deciding to do a price change or free deal. You could knock yourself out of the running if you're pricing is too close.
