I used the Console trick to check indexing progress on my 17PM about 48 hours ago. It said 95%, which is exactly what it said just now when I checked it again. I've been trying to keep it plugged in when around the house (much more than just at night) but it doesn't seem to be moving forward. Maybe tomorrow morning will bring a surprise...
 
They should definitely either completely remove the message or display progress with a message saying it could take a week or two, depending on storage size. I see this becoming a huge complaint with regular users since it's already big with beta testers
 
I used the console method. Last night was 77% and after a full night on the charger still at 77%. I did a force restart and will check again later. If it still hasn't moved, then I'll put it in the Feedback app. That said, the phone is running perfectly well so I'm not really sure of the value in showing the indexing message to millions of people in the production version.
