I submitted my CSS profile to all of my schools 4 days ago, yet the application portals of the EA schools I have already applied to say that they haven’t been received yet. Does it normally take this long for CSS profile to go thru?
Schools have their own timelines and schedules. They may download the information once a week, or less often, early on and increase the frequency as deadlines get closer. D20 applied to her ED school in October and they were still asking for additional documents and information 10-14 days before decision day. IIRC, they didn’t download the Profile until after the ED deadline, which was like 11/15.

They seem to download them in batches. Do not worry about that. As long as the college is listed in CSS they can access it when ready.
Thank you, so as long as I submit my CSS and FAFSA before the posted deadline I’m fine?
Yes, submit everything before the college’s deadline.
Make sure to log back in and add schools if they apply additional places.
The school will post if they need anything else in the CSS. One school wanted the tax forms signed that we had done electronically in turbo tax and had in a pdf.
