If you have provided the biometrics in the recent past(upto 5 years), they would use the same. They would send a mail around 4 - 6 weeks, since the application. This happened for me, when I applied for RP, last July. I wouldn't know, what's the situation in the recent past, considering the pandemic has subsided to a larger extent.
But, the timelines for getting the RP, is almost an year and more. I have been awaiting for my RP, from last July.
