As per the HTML you have shared to extract the text requires verification. from the div you need to use a Locator Strategy to identify the WebElement uniquely and induce WebDriverWait with ExpectedConditions set as visibilityOfElementLocated(By locator) for the WebElement to be visible in the HTML DOM and finally use getAttribute() method to to extract the text. You can use the following line of code :

System.out.println(new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//div[@class='rc-anchor-light']/div[@class='rc-anchor-aria-status' and @id='accessible-status']"))).getAttribute("innerHTML"));

Text content of target div node might be generated dynamically. Try to implement ExplicitWait for element with any text:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, 10);
WebElement divNode = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//div[@id='accessible-status' and normalize-space()]"));
String accessText = divNode.getText();

If element has text from the very beggining, but it is just hidden, getText() will not return you text. In this case you may try

String accessText = driver.findElement(By.id("accessible-status")).getAttribute("textContent");
