      I often miss having a dedicated icon for something in-between the standard red and green icons, to signify "in progress", "pending", "started", "working" etc.
      None of the other icons fit the bill naturally, without an agreed-upon convention with the reader.

      I would like (a) new icon(s) specially designed for this purpose.
      The icon should:

      • be in the same graphical style and weight as
      • be round - like other "nothing wrong" icons
      • be blue - "neutral" in relation to red and green
      • display a symbol recognizable as "ongoing" or "incomplete"
        • three dots?
        • cogwheel(s)?
        • circular dotted "spinner"? (not animated)
        • other?
      • use markup reflecting the meaning, or the graphic or preferably both:
        • (%)
          • might look a bit like cogwheels
          • hints at something incomplete or partial
        • (&)
          • might look like a bit like cogwheels
          • hints that there is more
        • (...)
          • matches three dots perfectly, and dotted spinner quite well.
          • hints that there is more
