As far as i know, if the COS status has changed from assigned to used it means you application has been processed/is currently under process and in final stages. You should hear from them soon. All the very best :)

I am not sure about that to be frank. But all i can say is its almost done and should not be too long. Keep your finger crossed. As i asked can you please share you time lines of application and bio metric please??
