Good chip repair places can do miracles, especially on small and fresh damage. The longer you wait, the more contaminant bits can get in the crack and stop the repar resin from flowing in completely.

You'll have to get it evaluated.
As soon as possible will help your chances of it being repairable.

Happened to me last year, was always too big to repair. I replaced.

Some states mandate that auto insurance cover windshield repairs, as a safety issue.

And most insurance covers it with 0 deductible. Lots of chip repair places handle the claim and everything.
