    For me personally, receiving a ‘just wanted to check in’ feels less aggressive than ‘when can I expect an update’

    Otherwise I agree with the rest

      Agreed. The former sounds like “How’s it coming?” and the latter sounds like “What’s taking so long?”

      One tip here is to remove “just” as it will come across as more confident. The use of “just” is often unnecessary and can come across as apologetic.

        I don’t read it any differently with or without just. I’m not sure what you mean by apologetic or why that would be a bad thing.
