On July 1, my case status for my EAD changed to "Card is in production," but then on the 7th, the case status changed to "My Case is Approved." I recognize USCIS states you should wait up to 30 days before contacting them. However through research it seems rare that it'll take more than 14 days to arrive. However according to people's timelines, it seems people from early June are just now receiving their cards. The month before people were receiving their cards within a week. Does anyone know if the cards being produced are delayed?

Anecdotal stories (and a few case checks) would point to it taking 2-3 weeks from approval to delivery right now.

This seems to explain the delay:
