USCIS Website Reliability
Hi, my EAD card went into "production" on 5/17 and was "approved" on 5/18, but since then there haven't been any updates on whether the card has been mailed or not.

Here's my timeline:

5/17: Card went into production - reported on both egov.uscis.gov (instantly) and myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov (early morning of 5/18)

5/18: Approved - reported only on myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov (early morning of 5/19)

5/21: Received approval letters for EAD & AP in the mail

Looking at historic data and some recent cases here it appears that -

1 - The card is generally received exactly a week after going into production. For that to happen, in my case the card should have been mailed on 5/21 or 5/22 (today)

2 - There's a delay in updating the online status to "mailed". In the below linked cases, the users received their cards exactly a day after it was reported to be "mailed". USPS isn't that quick, so there must be a delay in USCIS' reporting?
Example Case 1: https://www.immihelp.com/experience/312831-Dont-Give-Up-Your-Time-Will-Come.html
Example Case 2: https://www.immihelp.com/experience/312980-Finally-Received-EAD.html

Is my understanding correct? My start date for work is quickly approaching, so getting a little anxious here
