Hi CougarIT24,
Welcome to Microsoft Community.
I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.
I understand your concern about the extended processing time for your Intune Surface Management Portal service request. Typically, the Surface Management Portal is designed to streamline the process by automatically pulling necessary information like serial numbers, warranty details, and shipping labels.
I wish I could handle your problem, however, it is more suitable for publishing on Microsoft Learn (English only), more users post these issues there, you can click on "Ask a question", there are experts who can provide more professional solutions in that place.
Here is a Microsoft Intune - Microsoft Q&A to the forum where you can raise specific scenarios and share your idea to help solve the problem.
Sincerely hope that your question will be dealt with appropriately after contact the correct department. Thank you for your understanding!
Your Sincerely
Hahn. W - MSFT | Microsoft Community Support Specialist
