About perfect tense

Thank you so much for the answer to my previous question.

Now I'm wondering if these are correct:

I have used it for a week now.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you again for the answer.

Now I assume the reason why "we've moved here for a week now" is incorrect whereas "I've used it for a while" is correct is because the verb "use" implies an action that will be done repeatedly, while what the verb "move" implies is something that is done only once.

Am I right?

Thanks in advance.

That is essentially correct.
