If you can't get your fingers in there's nothing to worry about.

Can’t get fingers in just unsure how it’s happened after plastering completed 2 months ago

If you tap along the line of he cracks, does the skim sound "hollow" ?

Ken.

It does slightly sound hollow, crack looks worse on the photo thanks

Because plaster absorbs and releases moisture 27/7. And then one day 2 weeks/months/years/decades in the future when you crank the heating up and the air dries .........

No wonder you get so much done in a day…..

Shrinkage. If there’s no corresponding crack in the masonry outside, there’s nothing to worry about.
