"Featured" status not working

We faced a weird issue with status=”Featured” for our channel entry tag today, when we changed the custom status of our health topic channel entry from “Featured” to “Closed”, and created a new health topic channel entry with the status=”Featured”. This process has worked in the past, but doesn’t seem to work today.

The tag looks like this: {exp:channel:entries channel="health_topics" limit="1" status="Featured" dynamic="no"} //HTML code {/exp:channel:entries}

Nothing is displayed is the sections with the above snippet. This issue is common to another channel “Event”.

What could be the issue? Any assistance is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
