I randomly checked the citizenship tracker today and noticed that Language Test, Physical Presence and Prohibitions have been updated to Completed on July 9, 2021.
Previous update was on April 23, 2021, after the citizenship test, when my Citizenship Test and Background check status became complete on the tracker.

Citizenship ceremony is Not Started.

Mississauga office.
Received my Oath invitation today, October 25, 2021.
Decision Made was on July 9, 2021.
2019 December applicant. Mississauga office.

Not necessarily, even automated replies can be queued. Or it could have been a delay in the automated system.

Meaning there's any number of reasons why an automated response could have been delayed, overall.
Today, I received ANOTHER standard reply! Three standard replies for one webform, days apart. I truly believe that the system is somehow broken.

Yes, I have received now 3 standard responses for a webform that I sent in September.. Its absolute nonsense to see the same message over and over again. The optimist me gets excited when I see IRCC email, hoping that I am taking an oath soon but its the same standard response that they are dealing Afghanistan crisis so resources are stretched thin. I get it the first time, I don't need timely reminders

Today, my Language Skills/Prohibitions/Physical Presence became "completed". It is 20 days since I took the test. Scarborough office, no passport copy request. I do not know why I didn't need to send passport copies, but my guess is that during my 5 year period, I spent 4 studying at a Canadian university, and I provided my transcript as language skill proof. So, maybe, the officer thinks that it is straightforward that I was in Canada.

Honestly, I don't know. This is what happened:
About 10 days ago, I sent a webform that says something like: I will need to renew my PR next year, could you please process it faster so that I don't need to do that.
I received 3 duplicates of the standard reply that says "we would not respond to non-priority inquiries"etc, nothing else.

Rethinking it through, I believe my file is more likely to not be under urgent processing. In the Scarborough Office thread, I observed that it typically takes around a month from test to pp request. 20 days is not extremely less than that. And urgent processing is no ground to skip pp check. I am inclined towards believing that it was because my file is rather sufficient in proving everything needed.

Your file is unlikely considered for urgent processing. What you said doesn't qualify for urgent processing. What likely happened is that your webform brought their attention to your file, which was obviously forgotten until recently. In any case, a significant milestone on your file. Congrats. Now the wait begins for the oath. Welcome aboard!
