I'll give it a few days and see what happens and maybe call a rep. It's only ~4mos old anyway.
You just need to be patient i didn't get my sp cli until 10 months in, even tho my scores improved drastically.
In the past when I did a request, and then backed out (because of the HP language) I would get that language about a CLI request already being in process when I logged back in later. Then, tthey usally gave me a auto-CLI within a couple weeks of getting the message. Since probably January,2014 I have been following the info in this thread:
http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Discover-CLI/m-p/2738393/highlight/true#M782138
For me , when I have clicked the button (eligible every 3 mos) I get a message that says: This request may also require us to pull a credit bureau report, which may affect your credit score.
Then where I enter the amount it says: Enter the amount by which you would like to increase your credit line. Your cash line may be increased proportionally. This request will not affect your credit score.
I take this to mean a SP if instantly approved, a HP if not (or if I want more than the SP will allow). After you get the amount the SP will allow (or possibly a denial) it gives you the OPTION to request a HP if you want a higher increase. When doing it this way, I have not incurred a HP when requesting a CLI. However, I think i am conservative when it comes to my requests, I usually only ask fora small amount at a time.
I have gone from 7k-->8.5k-->11k-->15k since January with minimal (200 a month) use of the card. For the reason for request, I usually click the balance transfer option.
Good luck!

Great luck by calling the Discover telephone number on the back of the card and talked with the customer reps. They were informed by me no hard pull and I told them what I wanted. They asked a couple of questions and said the computer would offer a counter if it could not match my request. Went from $2250 to $5000 and then to $6500. No HP!
awesome, and congrats!
