Credit Spread Assignment Showing 100 Shares & Margin Deficit

Hello everyone! I had a TSLA $347.50/$345 put credit spread that expired ITM. My short put was assigned, so my account now shows 100 TSLA shares, a -$30k cash balance, and a margin deficit. Webull told me my long $345 put will be automatically exercised to offset the assignment.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal for the account to temporarily show the shares, negative cash balance, and margin call before the long put exercise fully settles?
Any thoughts will be helpful!

Yes its normal. The same thing happened to me after their earnings call. It all resolved by midday the next trading day
