I got it vs i have gotten it

Both "I got it" and "I have gotten it" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "I got it" is more commonly used in everyday conversations to indicate understanding or receiving something in the past. On the other hand, "I have gotten it" is used in American English to emphasize the completion of an action or to refer to a recent event.
