Default DHL Export Shipment on Hold

I have a package coming to me from my freight forwarder in the US via DHL (going out of US). The shipment has parts for my PC build and DJ Osmo which has a built-in battery and was marked correctly in the decleration having the type of battery.

Now neither the freight forwarder is helping much nor DHL, I contacted DHL and was told it has been marked as having "Dangerous Goods" and that a specialist will start an investigation and contact me within two hours with the result and what to do next but that never happened. I reached out again and was given Dangerous Goods email address of DHL and asked me to reach them via e-mail which I have done and I am waiting.

Am I correct to assume that I am not in trouble yet as no one from DHL has reached out to me about it, nor is there any status like Contact DHL in the tracking updates?

I have shopped a lot through freight forwarder and don't recall this happening. Not sure what they think is dangerous goods in the package itself otherwise Freight forwarder wouldn't ship it in the first place as they have very strict checking of the same.

2450 mAh only with 17.64 Wh so it is within the specification which they consider safe to ship per their Guideline here:

But yeah, I have no choice but to just wait it out and see what happens...

Response from DHL Restricted Commodities Specialist, seems to have missed what my issue is and has limited info on the shipment that's in DHL's own system right now?!

Unfortunately I have limited info on this shipment. If there is just one equipment with a battery installed it can go as regular freight just make sure there is no lithium battery mark on the outer package.
