The drilling process was seemingly not the smoothest:
Difficult to tell from CacheCam if the sample tube is full, and we have no animation of the drilling process as yet. Stay tuned!

I’d forgot about the aim to leave the tubes unsealed. Clearly a lot of questions about the geology outside the crater that require further investigation, and with few tubes, it makes sense to be selective. With sample return not close to having a date, I guess they can afford to take their time.
